Happy Occupational Health Nursing Week! 🎉

According to the AAOHN - American Association of Occupational Health Nurses, "Occupational and environmental health nursing is the specialty practice that provides for and delivers health and safety programs and services to workers, worker populations, and community groups."

OHNs are registered nurses, many of whom have earned their MSN. Certification in occupational and environmental health nursing is highly recommended, though Florida does not require it.

Thank you, OHNs, for all you do!
