ABOHN

ABOHN The American Board for Occupational Health Nurses (ABOHN) is an independent nursing specialty certification board. We have certified over 16,000 nurses.

ABOHN is the sole certifying body for occupational health nurses in the United States and awards four credentials: Certified Occupational Health Nurse (COHN), Certified Occupational Health Nurse - Specialist (COHN-S), Case Management (CM), and Safety Management (SM). Certification is a process by which a non-governmental agency or association validates, based on predetermined standards of nursing

practice, an individual registered nurse's qualifications, knowledge and practice in a defined functional or clinical area of nursing. ABOHN's certifications are voluntary programs designed to inform and protect consumers by identifying those nurses who have demonstrated mastery in occupational health nursing through education, experience and knowledge. We use predetermined standards of nursing practice to validate an individual registered nurse's qualifications, knowledge and practice in specific areas of occupational health nursing. We have certified over 13,000 nurses.
