The New OHN Practice Exchange is designed for early-career nurses, those new to the field of occupational health and safety, or individuals preparing for certification. It also provides opportunities for experienced occupational health nurses to serve as mentors. This program offers a structured, supportive space to ask questions, share resources, explore core topics, and build confidence while transitioning into or advancing within occupational health practice.
