title: Internal and external consulting. Assisting clients with managing work, health, and psychosocial issues.
abstract: 1. Consulting is the art of influencing people at their request. It means reaching a conclusion of acceptable quality, maintaining an acceptable commitment to that conclusion, supporting the client to prevent or minimize any detrimental outcomes as a result of the conclusion, and being perceived as helpful and efficient by the client. 2. Occupational and environmental health nurses are involved in a variety of consulting roles along with different types of consulting relationships, including both internal and external consulting. 3. To be an effective consultant, occupational and environmental health nurses need specialized knowledge and skills. Effective consultants work hard at developing sensitivity and competency to help others, and leave them self sufficient when the project is complete.
