How many OHN's are on these board? - page 5

I'm the only OHN for a transportation company with 2,900 employees. I have one coordinator for assistance.

Hi Mass I'm an LPN and I work as a OHN. I'm new to OH only 6 months. But I love it. It has given my nursing skills some sharpening for sure. I had worked LTC for years and I'm definately seeing things that I had to study all over again. Getting into OHN was easy, well aside from that behavioral interview. That was a "tuffie." Good luck to you.
Hi to all you other OHN's Glad to see there are more of us...

Do any of you write up occupational health policies? With disabilities and substance abuse?

HI! Who is UCSF? Do you have an address for them? Thanks Neletta

CONGRADULATIONS!!!!!! I look forward to taking it sometime in future (5years??)

That will be one of the first things I work on, combining the many differenet disability policies for multiple insurances.

So where did you obtain your OH NP from? How long ago was it? I am looking for an online NP program.

I've written our corporate Alcohol and Drug policy. We haven't run into any disability issues that we haven't been able to accomodate.

Occ Health here ( see name

I've been here a little over 9 years. Was contract nurse, then Supv of contract nurses, and got hired by the customer. I love my job. I have a great deal of automony, and my opinion is regularly sought, on any variey of issues.

I have one other nurse working on my shift (afternoons), and together we are responsible for 2600 employees. We do everything from passing ASA, to OSHA recordkeeping, to responding to inplant emergencies. I just recently started our pulic access AED program.

Hi all. I'm sort of a hybrid..Occ Health and Community Health RN. I'm certified in Rehab which made me an attractive hire to an industrial Occ Health position years ago. Now I work solo for a state DOT overseeing licensing health issues for commercial drivers and school bus drivers. I do policy analysis, case management, public outreach and long range planning for my states 4 million drivers.

I love the autonomy and the respect, which I never got in a hospital setting. I definitely recommend anyone interested get in touch with their local chapter of AAOHN...they are very active where I am. My Rehab RN organization was completely inactive so it was a thrill to get involved with a motivated and energetic group like AAOHN.

Hi,
Just joined and was looking down the list and saw your question. I am President of the South Alabama Association of Occupational Health Nurses, Inc.
