title: Snapshot of the AAOHN APRN membership.
abstract: In 2012, the American Association of Occupational Health Nurses, Inc. (AAOHN) conducted an online membership survey. This article presents demographic, certification, educational, employment, priority issues, and membership data for advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) AAOHN members. Approximately 8% of the respondents identified themselves as nurse practitioners and/or clinical nurse specialists. The majority of these members are currently employed as APRNs (62.1%) and work full-time (85.7%) as employees of their organizations (85.8%). Critical issues that AAOHN APRN members identified in occupational health nursing practice today included the economy, government regulations, and health care reform.
