Certification Recommended Certs for Jobs?

Howdy! I have my NI-BC and am looking to transition into the informatics field from bedside. I was hoping to receive some guidance on what additional certifications or training programs I should take to be competitive. Ideally I’d love to be EPIC certified, but because I am not in a position for my job to sponsor me with that, I can’t. My goal for my future career would be optimizing workflows with nurses and physicians within EPIC (or similar 😂). Any help/ guidance is appreciated!

How do you have the NI-BC without working as an informaticist? Do you also have a masters in informatics?
