This backwards approach has been used for a long time. Happened to me a long time ago too when a change management and project role was designed for my skills (including bridging roles) about 20 years ago. In the absence of a useful career pathway tool, it’ll continue happening this way for a long time yet. ---

I’ll try and attend. Many nurses find they follow opportunities as they arise in their setting, rather than have a clear career path. Education/courses can be helpful to prepare you for opportunities as it is often the skills and experience you bring that gets you into informatics roles. Yes, I do understand that isn’t helpful when you’re starting out ---

Agree @m.honey. I’m writing a Marsden funding application to do research on career pathways for health informaticians. Because there are so many entry points into an informatics role and so many different journeys that can be taken, I am to come up with some ways to help people design a career. ![~WRD000.jpg](https://ehealthforum.nz/uploads/default/original/2X/5/52d5f1c08649212fe6768d2cacdcf8df711810d9.jpeg) ---

The poll will be closed tomorrow (Tuesday 16th) at 5pm. On Wednesday we will post a calendar invite and zoom meeting link in this channel. Please feel free to distribute to whoever you think may be interested in joining this discussion. The meeting will be facilitated by Kate Yeo with myself supporting her. It will include introductions as well as a general discussion about nursing entering health informatics as a career with hopefully some action points as a result of the meeting. The HiNZ NMI group as well as anyone else, can work together to achieve any action points over the year. One of the action points will probably be to set up a sub-group to explore this topic further! For those that can’t make it, we will record the meeting and post the link in this channel. Looking forward to the discussion! Emma Collins ---

If you are feeling brave, you can use [zui.nz/NursesandHI](http://zui.nz/NursesandHI) (yes, it can easily record) and simply upgrade this topic to an event. That way you’ll capture all those already in the thread (they are **[Watching](https://ehealthforum.nz/t/control-your-emails-from-the-ehealth-forum/21928#bell-watching-and-no_bell-muting-3)** it already automatically) and anyone who likes can download it into their calendars with a simple button. To this end I’ve made [Arshi’s post up top](https://ehealthforum.nz/t/entry-for-nurses-into-health-informatics/27341) a [wiki](https://ehealthforum.nz/t/wikis-and-how-to-use-them/9723) so anyone can add that once a date has been sorted. Soon we’ll have a way for that to be automatically integrated with people’s calendars (if they wish). Let me know if you need a hand! ---
