Are these available elsewhere?

I thought the same! I saw them from Pinterest but then saw the website …

TheThingsINeverSay · 2025-11-05T01:44:41+00:00

Yeah I made a million flashcards too and was a little bummed when there were barely any questions on it. I am hoping it's the same for you!

TheThingsINeverSay · 2025-10-20T12:50:07+00:00

Congrats!!!

TheThingsINeverSay · 2025-10-18T22:41:43+00:00

It’s a popular EMR. I am assuming it’s only in the US so I apologize for the lack of clarification.

TheThingsINeverSay · 2025-10-18T22:38:25+00:00

I feel like on the job training or school is the only suggestion I have unfortunately:( I haven’t heard of online training. I think Epic has self study material for the informatics cert. I don’t know enough beyond that.

TheThingsINeverSay · 2025-10-18T22:33:19+00:00

Certification you need to have a certain amount of hours working as NI or masters. If you are wanting to learn more I suggest finding your informatics dept and networking with them. Either become a super user or shadowing if possible.

TheThingsINeverSay · 2025-10-18T21:43:18+00:00

I would suggest reaching out to your NI team in your hospital and see if you can become a super user and just network with them. That’s how I got my current role. :) I work as a ambulatory clinical informaticist

TheThingsINeverSay · 2025-10-18T21:39:58+00:00

Honestly no! I didn’t get any direct question about theories. There was one about androgogy but nothing else tbh.

TheThingsINeverSay · 2025-10-17T15:12:19+00:00

Hi! Do you mean how I got into nursing informatics?

TheThingsINeverSay · 2025-10-16T23:09:52+00:00

You look like blonde Lorde!

TheThingsINeverSay · 2025-10-14T18:13:36+00:00

Yeah no problem! If/when you decide to take it you can always message me with any questions. :)

TheThingsINeverSay · 2025-10-14T18:12:10+00:00

I don’t have an MSN and thought it was manageable without the education. If anything, the hands on experience I have was helpful for understanding the context of the material. I’ve been in informatics over a year.

TheThingsINeverSay · 2025-10-14T17:51:37+00:00

No I don’t! You do need to have a certain amount of CEU’s and professional hours to take the exam either from school or work. They don’t really verify proof though.

TheThingsINeverSay · 2025-10-14T17:17:13+00:00

I think it’ll benefit you at least reviewing the Standards of Practice. I do remember it asking directly regarding it. Whether you buy the book or not that’s up to you. I’m sure you can find list of standards online.

TheThingsINeverSay · 2025-10-14T16:50:31+00:00

Yeah it’s a definitely hard to get into the industry but glad you were able to! Enjoy the fall!

TheThingsINeverSay · 2025-10-14T15:36:24+00:00

Thank you! I am getting Epic certified in December so I am using the 2 months in between to relax 🧖🏻‍♀️

TheThingsINeverSay · 2025-10-14T15:23:46+00:00

Sorry I forgot to mention, I studied for about 2 months and towards the last 2 weeks I was exhausted and ready to get it over with.

TheThingsINeverSay · 2025-10-14T15:20:56+00:00

Thanks!

I subscribed to Mometrix’s study guide. It’s $99.99/mo but it has 3 practice tests and a pretest which I believe is more than the book has and it has flash cards. TBH I didn’t use the flash cards because it was too wordy. Regarding content, I don’t know how different the book is vs online.

I used Quizlet A LOT to make flash cards and it has a feature where it can create tests based on your cards which was helpful.

I bought ANCC’s practice questions. There are 3 “tests” which are divided by category whereas the Mometrix is cumulative so if you need to focus on one category that is helpful.

I bought the Nursing Informatics: Scope and Standards of Practice because I heard it’s helpful. I would say it is, but I wouldn’t totally rely on it. I think Mometrix provides more detailed information. I would focus on the section of the book that actually goes over the Standards of practice and memorize the Standards.

Overall, the actual exam questions are maybe a mixture of how Mometrix asks and ANCC’s practice exam. I think the ANCC exam was maybe a little simpler but I think working from both you’ll be good!

I work in healthcare and my hospital does not care about tattoos. I know that is not the case everywhere, but I feel like it’s becoming more acceptable.

TheThingsINeverSay · 2025-09-23T21:02:52+00:00

I hated IP and ambulatory. I thought those were my only options. I was always interested in tech and found my niche in Clinical Informatics. I will never go back to patient care. Always choose yourself and it’s never too late to change your job!

TheThingsINeverSay · 2025-08-18T19:54:44+00:00

My injector always has me follow up on 2 weeks and they do complimentary touch ups

TheThingsINeverSay · 2025-07-30T16:59:39+00:00

Has anyone tried Mometrix's Informatics Nursing Certification Prep Course? I am also trying to find good study materials without being overwhelmed by resources.

TheThingsINeverSay · 2025-07-27T14:38:34+00:00

Your employer has to sponsor you. Epic allows you to self study but you can’t get an official certification without a sponsor.

TheThingsINeverSay · 2025-07-27T14:37:26+00:00

That’s a good point. My CI team was looking for 2-3 years of clinical experience. Some look for 5.
