Occupational health nurses are registered nurses who specialize in caring for the employees within an organization. Also known as employee health nurses, OHNs treat workers’ injuries and illnesses and promote safety and wellness in the workplace. Occupational health nursing can be a rewarding career path for nurses wanting to work in a diverse work environment outside of a hospital bedside setting. Major occupational health nursing benefits include greater flexibility and a better work-life balance.

Some healthcare employers may prefer occupational health nurse job candidates with Basic Life Support (BLS), Certified Occupational Hearing Conservationist (COHC) or Certified Occupational Health Nurse (COHN), and some may even require specific professional certifications.

Having a Certified Occupational Health Nurse (COHN) validates your knowledge and skills as a occupational health nurse and your dedication to continuing your education in your chosen field. All of which makes you a more desirable job candidate to healthcare employers.
