Nurse to Data Analytics: Leverage Clinical Background & Cert
This is a strong career change opportunity. With a Bachelor's in Nursing and Psychology and 10 years of nursing experience, the individual brings valuable critical thinking, data interpretation, and problem-solving skills. Pursuing a Data Analytics Certification (especially the mentioned Texas one) is an excellent step. Leverage nursing background to specialize in healthcare data analytics (e.g., patient outcomes, hospital operations, public health data), a growing and well-paying niche. Focus on learning SQL, Python/R, Excel, and data visualization tools (Tableau/Power BI). Build a portfolio with healthcare-related projects.
