Navigating the River of Data to Wisdom

Posted on February 28, 2013 by afernando

The American Nurses Informatics Association’s annual conference is on May 2-4, 2013. This year’s theme is Navigating the River of Data to Wisdom in San Antonio, Texas. Although, I have been in the informatics field for several years, I have never been able to attend one. Some of my reasons were not being able to take time off from work, lack of funds to pay for the conference, airfare, hotel, meals, and other miscellaneous fees. I have to say I was able to take time off last year to attend, but; project deadlines prohibited me from attending. I wish I could attend this year but I will be starting a new job and do not have any vacation hours yet. Here are top 5 reasons to attend: 1.) Fabulous speakers will delight you in knowledge 2.) Network with the best of the best in nursing informatics 3.) 18.25 nursing education contact hours 4.) Free access to the ANIA online library to help you remember what you learned and to share with your colleagues 5.) Besides the knowledge, being in San Antonio, Texas and the Riverwalk should be on your bucket

Advice to Nurses….

Posted on February 25, 2013 by afernando

Here is my advice for nurses wanting to go into informatics:

1.) Take on the role of a super user for any implementation
2.) Get on any committee that involves nursing and technology or EMR’s’
3.) Find out who is the liaison for nursing and informatics and talk to that person. Ask what you can do to help. Get involved with your local or national organizations that are working through Meaningful Use,and education of new nurses in information technology.

How Systems Cause Behavior

Posted on February 21, 2013 by afernando

Exciting webinar from the Lewis Institute

Dr Edwards Deming, the quality guru, admonished managers to fix systems before the could expect workers to “do it right the first time,” because if the system was not capable of desired performance, the workers could not overcome it. Then, in his book, The Fifth Discipline, Dr. Peter Senge showed how system archetypes cause organizations to repeat

patterns that cause them to experience failure–patterns such as the boom-bust cycle.

It happens in projects too, and can be impossible to overcome.

We’ll explore how systems cause behavior and discuss what you have to do to change those systems so the you aren’t victimized by them.

 

 

Title: Systems Cause Behavior
Date: Thursday, March 14, 2013
Time: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM EDT

 

After registering you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the Webinar. The webinar will be conducted in listen-only mode.

Successful Interviewing Tips

Posted on January 24, 2013 by afernando

For those of you trying to land an informatics job, here are some key points to securing your dream job. After numerous resume edits and phone interviews, you finally landed the face to face interview. Colleges and graduate schools do not fully prepare you for interviews. An interview is a two way street. Its your chance as the interviewee to see if you fit in the company and the interviewer is also doing the same. Some people learned their interviewing skills by going to actual interviews to see if they would be a good fit for the company. But to some people going an an actual interview to practice interviewing skills may be nerve wracking. So, I’ve compiled some tips that helped me. 1.) Smile and show your personality – some people may not smile enough or they have a personality of a wall. Even though you may have the skillset, being personable comes a long way. 2.) Ask good questions Some questions to ask may be about the organizational structure, department and the position. If the job you are applying is a lateral position, ask what your responsibilities would be on a day to day basis. Another question is how will I be successful in this position and company. 3.) Discussing your qualifications – this is your time to shine. This is not the time to be humble. If you are proud of something you did, tell them! 4.) Never discuss salary. 5.) Some people may think discussing advancement opportunities may not be a good idea for an interview. But, if this is important for you and want a growth opportunity, there is no harm in asking and expressing interest. 6.) Exiting the Interview – end the interview my expressing your gratitude for the interviewer’s time, asking for a card, ask if there is anything that was said that needs clarification, re-express your interest in the position, and end with a hand shake.
