Nursing Informatics Post Master's Certificate Program
Nursing informatics integrates nursing science, information science, computer science and so much more. A Master's-prepared nurse who engages in nursing informatics is an informatics nurse specialist. As an informatics nurse specialist, you will identify, collect, process, and manage data and information to support nursing practice, administration, education, research, and the expansion of nursing knowledge. This program is designed for students who hold a Master's degree in another area of nursing and are interested in obtaining a certificate in Nursing Informatics.
