This is a great post by a nurse heading back into nursing. My suggestions for Jen is to dive in head first and learn the product in and out. Every EMR has issues, but you want to get to know those issues and the workarounds for those issues as soon as you can. Once you do, then at least they’re issues you know about and know how to deal with.
App and EMR vendors don't want interoperability…keep that in mind. #hcsm

Depends on the vendor. More importantly, many institutions don’t want interoperability either. A number of times just this week people have told me that healthcare organizations don’t want to share with “their competitor.” Many are going to be taken kicking and screaming into interoperability.

This is the fear for many. I hope they just calculate in how fast paper charting was.
