Occupational Health Nursing

The American Association of Occupational Health Nurses (AAOHN) promotes occupational health nursing by participating in national and state deliberations on credentialing issues. In 1995, AAOHN established the Credentialing Ad Hoc Committee to examine the impact of credentialing on occupational health nursing practice. As one effort by this Committee to clarify credentialing and the issues affecting the occupational health nurse, a series of three articles will appear in AAOHN Journal. This article defines credentialing and describes some of the issues affecting occupational health nursing. The second article will be based on the 1997 American Occupational Health Conference, Catherine Dempsey lecture elaborating on the future of credentialing in occupational health nursing. The final article will present the results of a national project conducted in 1996 asking AAOHN members for input in determining levels of competency in occupational health nursing practice.

Starting A Business

This is the first of two continuing education (CE) articles for occupational health nurses interested in starting their own business. Both articles build on the January 1997 focused issue with four CE articles dedicated to consulting in occupational health nursing practice. In this issue, Papp explores practical issues and poses questions beginning occupational health nurse consultants must confront prior to starting a business. Rainer's article, scheduled for the April 2000 issue of the AAOHN Journal, focuses on managing financial resources effectively to sustain a profitable business. Businesses are changing continually in response to a highly competitive marketplace. As a result, occupational health nurses continue to be challenged both clinically and managerially to demonstrate value whether they work within the organization or external to it. This two part series encourages occupational health nurses to examine options for adding value from an entrepreneurial perspective.
