How does the OHN Certificate Program relate to certification in occupational health nursing?
The OHN Certificate Program and OHN Certification (COHN or COHN-S) through the American Board for Occupational Health Nursing (ABOHN) are separate. They are not the same. The OHN Certificate Program gives you academic credit for graduate level courses. The Certificate results from an educational process awarded by an educational program or institution. After completing the certificate program, the individual demonstrates knowledge of course content in occupational health nursing. After you complete the coursework, you receive a certificate of completion which can be proudly displayed. Certification, granted by ABOHN, indicates that you have successfully passed a challenging national examination, after meeting eligibility criteria, designed to test for advanced knowledge in clinical care, management, employee education, case management, and safety. Certification refers to an earned credential that demonstrates specialized knowledge, skills, and experience, awarded by a standard setting
