Hi All,
Does anyone have any tips/tricks to be a great occupational health nurse? Are there any resources out there that I can read or save to my computer as a real time resource?
Currently, I utilize UpToDate and CDC guidelines. Is there anything else?
Background:
I have been an ER nurse for the past 5 years (additional backgrounds are camp nursing and nurse coaching). Recently I have gotten a job as an occupational health RN at a university that is closely affiliated with a hospital. I absolutely love it. I work with a full time PA-C and another full time RN (and some part time doctors). I have gotten to the point where I have learned the basics of occupational health and our policies/protocols. I want to learn more and be the best that I can be.
The main parts of my job are immunization review, TB screening, respiratory protection (N95, SCBA, etc. fittings), worker's comp appointment assistance, etc.).
