The Oregon State Association of Occupational Health Nurses believes that:
Nursing deals with the interrelationship of client, health status, and
environment.
Health is influenced through lifestyle choices.
Occupational health nurses promote efforts in behalf of workers who have the
right to a safe and healthy working environment.
Oregon State Association of Occupational Health Nurses serves as an arena for
exploration of nursing issues and establishment of standards in occupational
health nursing.
Occupational health nurses usually work
alone, therefore the organization
provides a vehicle for communication and networking.
Oregon State Association of Occupational Health Nurses can be a force for
impact on the health of the working public
