Health informatics has become increasingly important over the past decade, and there are now publications and organizations devoted entirely to informatics in nursing. The American Nursing Informatics Association (http://ania.org) is a great place to start if you are interested in learning more about the role of informatics in nursing and finding educational, networking and job opportunities. Also check out the peer-reviewed Online Journal of Nursing Informatics (http://ojni.org).
Here in Boston, Northeastern University offers a Masters of Science in Health Informatics (http://healthinformatics.neu.edu/), and an MS in Biomedical Informatics is offered jointly through Harvard and MIT (http://hst.mit.edu/servlet/ControllerServlet?handler=PublicHandler&action=browse&pageId=129) for individuals who already have completed advanced study in the health sciences, such as a doctoral degree in nursing. There are also a number of online health informatics programs across the country (http://www.ania.org/Education.htm).
