Career Coaching
Coaching for Informatics Nurses
If you are a current or aspiring Informatics Nurse looking for help navigating the Nursing Informatics career path, Lisa may be the career coach you have been looking for. Offering services ranging from career planning to resume review, interview preparation to job search, Lisa offers guidance specific to the Nursing Informatics field.
Lisa only coaches a limited number of nurses at a time, and coaching is by application only. Applicants for coaching packages will be offered a complementary 30 minute consultation with no obligation to proceed. Your official coaching journey begins after that call.

How Can I Get into Nursing Informatics?
Having spent 10 years of my career as an Informatics Nurse, I am frequently asked about how to get into this field. While everyone’s story is a little different, including my own, in this article I pull together the most common ways nurses get into this area.
What do I need to know before starting a master's program in Nursing Informatics?
This article describes 5 aspects of life as an Informatics Nurse I wish I knew before starting a masters program. With growth potential in this field still above 10%, and renewed interest with the rise of telehealth and remote working, I aim to share the perspective of one who has been in this field for the last decade.
Frustrations of Manual Inventory Management: A Nurse's Perspective
I started my nursing career on a medical-surgical unit of a busy city hospital. Like most new nursing graduates, I was put on the night shift and frequently assigned more than the recommended number of patients. That meant while the city slept, I sprinted from patient room to patient room for 12 hours. One of the most frustrating aspects of my job was dealing with the lack of supplies when and where I needed them. For a hard-pressed nurse, that meant taking extra steps to track down supply inventory and losing time caring for patients.
