Default Medical IT

You can use your medical experience with IT. Nextgen healthcare is hiring. I work for them as a remote employ training electronic health recrords. Can work from anywhere near an airport. Also hospitals are using more electronic records. I knew nurses who did clinical IT at a hospital I worked at in Florida.

That is exactly the position I am looking for! I'd love to combine my Nursing skills with my IT education. I will look up your company, thank you! That job sounds great.

I had a good discussion with my wife's doctor in San Diego about this recently. He almost made me wish my startup was in this area. Now imagine you are one of those software vendors. You are having to send out either SME's with little tech expertise, or techies who can barely talk to the medical staff to deploy the software. They might be sending out both. Now imagine you get a resume across your desk from someone who knows BOTH. A person who is both technically qualified, and has a medical background. In other words, the perfect person to send out to deploy your software. The perfect techie to interface with doctors, nurses, and other medical personnel. Things will settle down after a few years, but you could probably make a good living hooking up with a software vendor as a field service rep/deployment specialist. Just a thought.
(I also work in IT,) this is sound advice. The only caveat I would add is be sure that once you get the job you're proving your worth above and beyond your regular duties. These specific types of IT jobs can pigeon hole you pretty easily if you're not careful, both at the company you're with, and with future companies.
