title: Occupational health nursing education. Curricular content in baccalaureate programs.
abstract: It is important that occupational health nursing content be offered in academic institutions to support the scope of practice in the specialty. Less than 50% of the schools responding (N = 215) included content specific to occupational health nursing concepts and practice, related fields of knowledge, and management of the occupational health unit. Occupational health nurses in practice settings and educational institutions should collaborate on the development of occupational health content in nursing school curricula.
