Nursing Jobs in Oregon: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a nursing in Oregon?
You become a registered nurse in Oregon by completing an accredited nursing program, passing the NCLEX-RN exam, and obtaining licensure through the Oregon State Board of Nursing. An Associate Degree in Nursing meets minimum entry requirements, though many Oregon employers prefer a Bachelor of Science in Nursing for hospital roles. Licensed practical nurse and certified nursing assistant pathways are also regulated by the Oregon State Board of Nursing for entry-level clinical work.
How much do nursings make in Oregon?
Nursings in Oregon earn a median of about $49,830 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $43,210 for the lowest 10% to over $61,310 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire nursings in Oregon?
Employers hiring nursings in Oregon right now include Avamere, Regency Pacific, and Sapphire Health Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Oregon's large integrated health systems and regional hospital networks drive the majority of consistent openings across the state.
Which Oregon cities have the most nursing jobs?
The cities with the most nursing openings in Oregon are Portland, Eugene, and Bend. Portland anchors the market as home to OHSU Health and multiple Providence and Legacy campuses, while Salem and Eugene support regional medical centers that serve Oregon's mid-valley and southern Willamette populations, generating steady demand outside the main metro.
Are there remote nursing jobs in Oregon?
Yes, but they're rare. About 0% of nursing openings tied to Oregon are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting how hands-on clinical care requires physical presence. The roles most likely to offer remote hours are telephone triage nursing, utilization review, case management, and health insurance clinical positions that do not require direct patient contact.
How can I get hired as a nursing in Oregon with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to a new-graduate residency program, which OHSU Health, Providence Health and Services, and PeaceHealth all run specifically for nurses without post-graduation experience. These structured residencies typically last six months to a year and place candidates directly into med-surg, telemetry, or general acute care units. Candidates who hold a current Oregon RN license and have completed clinical rotations in Oregon facilities are well positioned, and those moving from a certified nursing assistant or medical assistant role often have an advantage when openings require comfort with direct patient care.
Where can I find and apply to nursing jobs in Oregon?
You can find and apply to nursing jobs in Oregon on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from Oregon employers. Search the roles that match your experience level and specialty, then apply directly to the positions that fit.
