What you will learn:

Occupational health nurses serve patients that come from a variety of occupations. Each occupation comes with their own chemical and substance hazards that they are exposed to. As an OEHN, knowing the effects of these hazards on the body is important when treating the patient and their symptoms. This course aims to equip health professionals with essential knowledge to understand the physiological and chemical interactions of toxicants in the workplace. Additional concepts in this course include dose response rate, toxicant distribution around the body, and classification of different toxicants. This course is also part of the OHN Prep Course Package.
