The Nursing Informatics specialization emphasizes the preparation
of graduates who can analyze nursing information requirements;
design systems; manage information and its technological requirements;
identify system implementation strategies; implement user training
strategies; and evaluate system effectiveness in clinical, educational,
administrative, and research venues. Students in Nursing Informatics
will specialize in an area of interest within Nursing Informatics.
These areas include but are not limited to: systems analysis
and design, emerging technologies, database management, and
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.
