Discussing Your Attendance

The AAOHN National Conference offers the most relevant education and professional development opportunities for Occupational Health Nurses. The conference includes professional development workshops, practice exchanges, sessions, and networking opportunities.
Why is your attendance at the 2023 AAOHN National Conference valuable?
By attending the AAOHN National Conference I can earn up to 14.5* hours of continuing nursing education (CNE)*. I will have the opportunity to share knowledge, skills, and lessons learned with other occupational health nursing colleagues. I will also partake in discussions about the most up-to-date evidence-based practices in my specialty area. The conference will provide me with the resources, technology, knowledge, and connections I need to deliver the highest quality care of health and safety for all our workers.
