Are you interested in occupational and environmental health nursing?
Are you a nurse or other health care professional working in an occupational health setting?
Typically, OHNs are nurses licensed to practice in the states in which they are employed. In 2011, AAOHN voted to invite our nursing LPN/LVN colleagues to join the association as active members. AAOHN hopes to represent their needs by providing guidance in setting scopes of practice, ethics, and education to enhance their practice of occupational health.
