Questions & Answers from fellow Occupational health Nurses

 

Question: I am in the process of setting up a new occupational medicine clinic. I would really appreciate your opinion regarding equipment....audiometers, spirometers, EKG machines and vision testers.  What models/products are you using and would you recommend them or not?  If not, what model/product would you prefer?

• Answers: I’m not impressed with Midmark spirometry. Optec and Titmus, are fine. Be sure to get software for your computer...let the computer do all your data storage for OSHA!

 

Question: Have you come across any books or places I could go to for P & P’s for NP’s practicing in an occupational health clinic?

• Answers: Dr. Bonnie Rogers books will help the person looking for P & P’s.
