Occupational Health Nurses Week, April 3-9, 2022
OHN Week is a national observance to recognize and celebrate YOU as members of the occupational and environmental health nursing profession. While most people understand the function of a nurse in a clinical setting, not everyone is aware that there are thousands of OHNs who work in promoting and protecting the health of workers in the US and around the globe. 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.
OHN Week also commemorates the inception of the largest professional association for occupational and environmental health nurses on April 12, 1942, when 300 nurses from 16 states founded the American Association of Industrial Nurses (AAIN), the predecessor to AAOHN.
In 2020, the California El Camino Real Association of Occupational Health Nurses (CECRAOHN) celebrated its 60th Anniversary! CECRAOHN is a leader in promoting occupational and environmental health standards and best practices in the workplace while providing opportunities for quality continuing education and professional networking.
Thank you for all that you do OHNs! We see you and we value you!
