I am in the same situation as well. Currently very confused whether i should do health informatics. I have a current job atm as a registered nurse, but i would like a career change. i heard that after graduation from health informatics the salary would start from $30-50 K. But have to have at least 5 years experience before $50 k up. Is this true? Also the status of the jobs. Is it hard to find a full time job related to health informatics? Keep me posted as well. ta

Hi Ana,
From my experience, I advise you go into Public Health. Take up a master of Public Health Program...it will open alot of doors for you considering you've got clinical background. I did it and it's paying well. I also have a bachelors in Nursing.
You can get a job as a health promotion officer, drug and alchohol liaison officer etc, depending on the electives you chose.
$30-50 K is rubbish compare to the wage you'll get after MPH.
Good luck!

Hi,
I am still currently studying health informatics. There are jobs like nurse support officer which i can apply for, seems to be ok pay too.

Public health pays well if you have experience isn't it?
