Abstract:
The American Association of Occupational Health Nurses, Inc. (AAOHN) conducted a web-based membership survey of 2123 members (41% response rate) in May and June 2012. This column presents educational, certification, and selected industry data for registered nurse and advanced practice nurse AAOHN members. Members are highly experienced, with 57% reporting more than 16 years of experience. Sixty-eight percent of AAOHN members are educated at or above the baccalaureate level. An additional 8.4% are currently enrolled in an educational program. Seventy-six percent are nationally certified as occupational health nurses or occupational health nurse specialists (COHN/COHN-S), case managers, safety professionals, ergonomists, or nurse practitioners. The majority (89%) work full-time as employees of their facility (85%), with manufacturing (34%), hospital/health care (26%), and government/military (10%) being the top three industry sectors. Ten percent work for small employers (fewer than 500 employees), whereas 12% work with more than 50,000 employees. Thirteen percent of AAOHN members work globally. Future columns will present additional 2012 AAOHN member survey data.
