Epic EHR.

I just finished my Epic Go-Live contract with a large Hospital network here in Ohio. I am eager to get working on another Go-Live but I am finding that breaking into the Electronic Health Record (EHR) is harder than I thought. I have over 18 years of IT and Project Management but keep getting doors slammed in my face. I will not give up but it is a little discouraging!

Healthcare Information Technology.

I am very excited about the world of EHR's, EMR's and am so eager to get working in HIT! I know I don't finish my class until May 21st but it's killing me to be this excited about my future in IT and have to wait. After earning my Degree, going back to college a couple different times and 18 years in the field, I have never been this excited about my future in IT or should I say HIT....

Let's start the weekend off with a laugh! Enjoy.

Education.

I know a lot of you are in a tough spot. The job market is very week and the jobs that are out there are very under market as far as pay. My suggestion is go back to school, tech school or community college. I lost my IT job last year and while friends of mine were out of work for 12months plus I was able to find work in less than 4 weeks making more money than my previous job of 10 years. The Government has a lot of incentives to get people to go to college or tech school and now is a great chance to peruse something you have been wanting to do. I was 30 the second time I went to college and actually went with my mother who was in her 50's. Don't put it off any longer just do it! If any of you need help finding programs to get you back in school just use Google or reply to my post and I will post some links to help you. It's time to invest in your future.

Life

Life is too short to worry about all the things that can go wrong, instead we need to focus on the things we can control and forget about the things out of our control. I implore you to go home and hug your kids, wife, husband or significant other and just relish the fact that you are alive and have someone there who loves you, and by all means tell the ones you love how much you love them because you may not get another chance! Life is far too short to waste time because time is something we can never get back!

Life

Life is full of ups and downs, twist and turns. We need to remember that it could always be worse and be thankful for what and who we have in our lives! Around every corner there is possibility just waiting, we never know what good fortune is coming our way tomorrow and how much better things will be! Just reflect back on what you have overcome in the past and learn from all your mistakes as they will help you over the hurdles tomorrow! Remember to never walk on the path but rather walk your own way and leave a path for others to follow! If you are desperate and need someone to talk to then please talk to someone and get the help you need and if you can't find help respond to this blog and I will find help for you no matter what it takes. There is always somebody you can talk to even if it's not someone you know.
