The advancement in technology has changed the way many processes are carried out. The emergence of the World Wide Web has made it possible for information to be shared more efficiently. Record keeping has amazingly made it simple for records to be stored in a manner that makes it easily accessible. Some of the fields which are successfully integrating information technology include the nursing field. Nursing Informatics is a new specialty designation in the Nursing discipline for which there is yet to be developed a specific system of credentialing, training, and certification. This new specialty career is an integration of the two disciplines namely Information Technology (IT) and Nursing. In assessing quality of life among different specialties within the Nursing practice, it is clear that Informaticists enjoy a better work-life balance compared to that of traditional nurses. The Nurse Informaticist is becoming a new role model in the Nursing field as an increasing number of younger nurses set their new career goals to get into this specialty. The American Nurses Association defines Nursing Informatics as “…a combination of computer science, information science, and nursing science designed to assist in the management and processing of nursing data, information, and knowledge, to support the practice of nursing and the delivery of nursing care” (American Nurses Association 1). An informaticist is often described as a person who understands both Nursing and Information Technology. Senior informaticists may be involved in developing, maintaining, and supporting database architecture to meet organizational needs and achieve interoperability of healthcare information systems. The current statistics on this new discipline show that it is a promising career choice within the Nursing field. In a recent publication, the Bureau of Labor and Statics (BLS) projects that “Careers in healthcare technology are among the 20 fastest-growing occupations and employment of health information technicians and managers is expected to increase by 18% through 2016” (BLS 1). This positive projection may be the reason why young nurses and IT professionals seem to be attracted to the educational path of health informatics. Another good reason is the monetary rewards and benefits of this career. In another survey published by the Health Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS), “The average salary of 2007 respondents is $83,675; compared to $69,500 in the 2004 survey, demonstrating the increasing maturity and value of the specialty” (HIMSS 1). Based on this survey, perhaps a six-digit salary for Chief Information Officers (CIO) is not unlikely, nor is it far-fetched to expect a $100,000 salary for a mid-level or senior Informaticist. Compared to traditional nursing practice, this new specialty is also attracting more candidates for a few logical reasons. For Constantino Castillo, who was an emergency room nurse prior to becoming an informaticist, this new career field was the escape route towards a more relaxed and rewarding work setting. The same reasoning may lead traditional nurses, who are looking for a better work environment and an improved quality of life, to transition into a ca
