SUMMARY:Occupational Health Nurses Week
DESCRIPTION:OHN (Occupational Health Nurses) Week is a national observance each April that celebrates and recognizes members of the occupational and environmental health nursing profession.

Through case management\, coaching and health counseling\, health promotion and wellness activities\, legal and regulatory compliance\, and workplace hazard detection and mitigation\, occupational and environmental health nurses improve the health of employees and contribute to a healthy bottom line for businesses. \nSEE WEBSITE
