NURSING INFORMATICS

The nursing informatics specialization emphasizes the following:

• preparation of graduates who can analyze nursing information requirements
• design of systems
• management of information and its technological requirements
• identification of system implementation strategies

Students in nursing informatics will specialize in an area of interest within the major. These areas include but are not limited to:

• systems analysis and design
• emerging technologies
• database management
• organizational implementation of information systems

An internship of one semester will provide an opportunity for the student to obtain practical experience as a nursing informatics specialist (NIS) in a variety of clinical, educational, research, and administrative settings. The program includes 500 hours that may be credited toward the required 2,000 hours for certification as a Nursing Informatics Specialist through the ANCC.
