Informatics Nurse Jobs in Reno, NV (NOW HIRING)

Our Community Roots
The Reno-Sparks Indian Colony represents descendants of three Great Basin Indigenous peoples: the Numu (Northern Paiute), Newe (Western Shoshone), and Washeshu (Washoe). These communities lived in harmony with the land for generations before European contact, following seasonal cycles and forming small, efficient social groups for survival.
Each group's name means "The People" in their own language, reflecting their deep cultural identity and connection to the Earth. They maintained strong traditions, respected neighboring tribes, and engaged in trade throughout the region.
Today, the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony continues to honor these traditions while supporting the well-being, culture, and future of its tribal community.

Apply to help advance patient-centered, culturally sensitive informatics.
A Typical Workday
You start onsite in Reno by checking overnight system status and reviewing priority requests from clinical and administrative teams. Mid-morning is often spent aligning on upcoming changes-confirming timelines, validating report outputs, and making sure stakeholders understand what's changing and when. After lunch, you may join a short huddle in the clinic to observe how tools are working in real time, then return to your office to finalize documentation, coordinate with vendors, and prepare materials for end-user communications. Late afternoon is reserved for reviewing performance metrics and ensuring key submissions are on track, with occasional planning for meetings, trainings, or conferences. The schedule is regular full-time, Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., with periodic travel as needed.
