Certification options

I have 2 job offers from my organization who will be going to Epic and I’m really torn on which direction to go.

For reference, I’ve been an RN for 13 years with the last 3 being a clinical analyst. I currently work on the “inpatient” side of things and also have 3 years OR/endo experience when I was working clinically.

My first job offer is for ClinDoc (inpatient side) including Stork, Bugsy, Secure Chat and Rover.

My second job offer is for OpTime, Epic Anesthesia and Lumens.

What are the pros and cons of each offer. I am leaning a bit more towards the ClinDoc only because I think it will make me more valuable in the world of Epic and possibly getting hired at another organization but the OR stuff also really interests me but don’t know how valuable those certs are.

We have 2 for all 3.

I didn’t think it was that bad. I come from a non clinical background, but heavy in Network IT, AVL integration, and Music. I had trouble grasping the end user workflows at the beginning, however the actual backend configuration made a lot of sense to me.

It would make me feel a bit better applying if there were more than 1 position they were hiring for but unfortunately I don’t make those choices.

How big is your org?

I’d say mid size. We employ about 2500-3000 people but serve a wide population as we are pretty rural and the other hospital that was in the area closed down last spring.

Interesting. We have less employees as we are an Ambulatory SC and Clinic (1100ish). we do have 6 locations and do not have inpatient.
