Licensed Practical Nurse Jobs in Oregon: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a licensed practical nurse in Oregon?
To become a licensed practical nurse in Oregon, you must complete a state-approved practical nursing program and pass the NCLEX-PN exam. Licensure is issued by the Oregon State Board of Nursing, which requires a completed application, verification of education, and a background check. Oregon does not participate in the Nurse Licensure Compact, so LPNs licensed in other states must apply for an Oregon license by endorsement before practicing in the state.
How much do licensed practical nurses make in Oregon?
Licensed practical nurses in Oregon earn a median of about $80,470 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $64,000 for the lowest 10% to over $98,990 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire licensed practical nurses in Oregon?
Companies currently hiring licensed practical nurses in Oregon include Samaritan Health Services, Avamere, and Sapphire Health Services, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Oregon's large integrated health systems and network of skilled nursing and long-term care facilities make it one of the more active LPN markets in the Pacific Northwest.
Which Oregon cities have the most licensed practical nurse jobs?
Medford, Bend, and Portland have the most licensed practical nurse openings in Oregon. Portland accounts for the largest share due to its concentration of major health systems, hospital campuses, and outpatient clinics, while Salem and Eugene generate consistent demand through regional medical centers and the long-term care facilities that serve their growing older populations.
Are there remote licensed practical nurse jobs in Oregon?
Yes, but they're rare. Licensed practical nursing is a hands-on clinical role and the large majority of positions require an on-site presence. About 0% of licensed practical nurse openings tied to Oregon are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those that do qualify are typically telephone triage, care coordination, or utilization review roles rather than direct patient care.
How can I get hired as a licensed practical nurse in Oregon with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to long-term care and skilled nursing facilities, which in Oregon have the highest volume of new-grad LPN openings and the most structured onboarding. Providence Health and Services and PeaceHealth both run clinical orientation programs for newly licensed LPNs. Candidates who have worked as certified nursing assistants or medical assistants in Oregon facilities have a strong advantage, since those roles demonstrate patient care experience that hiring managers in long-term care and home health actively value.
Where can I find and apply to licensed practical nurse jobs in Oregon?
