To become a certified nurse aide in Oregon, you must complete an Oregon-approved nurse aide training program, then pass the Oregon Nurse Aide Competency Evaluation, which includes both a written knowledge test and a hands-on skills demonstration. After passing, you register with the Oregon State Board of Nursing CNA Registry. Programs are offered through community colleges, healthcare employers, and vocational training centers throughout the state.

Which Oregon cities have the most certified nurse aide jobs?
The cities with the most certified nurse aide openings in Oregon are McMinnville, Salem, and Eugene. Portland drives the largest share of demand as home to major health systems and a large senior population, while Salem and Eugene support significant hiring through regional medical centers, state-affiliated care facilities, and a growing network of assisted living communities in each metro area.
