title: Consulting in occupational health nursing: an overview.
abstract: Occupational health nurses work in a variety of settings and some have chosen to practice the profession as consultants. The process of consulting is similar to that of other disciplines but only two small descriptive studies offer functions and roles specific to occupational health nurse consultants. This article provides an overview of consulting practice, the process, the functions, and the roles of occupational health nurse consultants, and presents some common characteristics of successful consultants.
