Licensure Requirements

Since Oregon is not part of the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC), you will need to obtain a license by endorsement to practice travel nursing in this state.

Out-of-state RNs may apply for Licensure by Endorsement and must have:

  • Completed at least 400 hours of verifiable practice or graduated from their initial RN program within the last two years.
  • Transcripts documenting graduation from a pre-licensure program.
  • A fingerprint-based criminal background check.
  • Verification from their first state of licensure as well as the most recent one. Verification through Nursys ® is accepted. 

Nurses who have been out of the field for some time should prepare to take a re-entry course.

Oregon does allow a 90-day temporary license if an employer files the request due to staff shortages. This 90-day license may be extended for an additional 30 days at the request of the employer as well. In order to be eligible, you must have a completed Licensure by Endorsement application on file. 

Licensure Fees

Application fees for licensure include: 

  • Licensure by endorsement – $195.00
  • Fingerprinting fee – $52.00

Licensees who cannot attest to 400 hours of nursing practice within the previous two years will be required to complete:

Cost Of Living For Travel Nurses In Oregon

As the national cost of living continues to rise, Oregon is also seeing a significant rise in their local cost of living. In fact, an ongoing issue for travel nurses is finding affordable housing during contracts. There have been many reports of travel nurses not being able to find housing until days before or even days after a contract starts.

Cost of living is defined as the amount of money needed to cover basic expenses such as food, taxes, healthcare, and housing. Despite all travel nurse companies providing a stipend for housing , at times it has shown to not be enough. Furthermore, depending on the location – hotels may not a viable long-term solution.

According to Bestplaces.net , the overall cost of living in Oregon rates 114.3. The number is well above 100 which means Oregon’s COL is higher than the U.S. average. The median house cost is $438,100 as compared to the median home cost in the U.S. of only $291,700.

Pros & cons of travel nursing in Oregon

With any career, there are pros and cons to the job. Travel nursing is no exception. It’s important to take into consideration your own personal circumstances, family obligations, and reasons for wanting to be a travel nurse. Reasons that some nurses might see as a con may in fact be a positive for you.

Pros of Travel Nursing in Oregon

1. Increased earning potential – Travel nurses have the ability to earn significantly more money than staff nurses. Furthermore, they actually take home more after taxes due to reimbursements and incentives not being considered “taxable income.” Most travel nurses receive agency-provided housing or have a hefty monthly allowance to put toward housing expenses.

2. Travel! – One of the main reasons travel nurses start this adventure is to experience different cities and states they may not otherwise get to experience. It also is great for nurses that are not sure where they ultimately want to settle down.

3. Flexibility – You have the ability to take a contract when you want to and where you want. If you really want to travel to Oregon, you have the ability to find a contract that fits your needs. It is also easier to get a permanent staff position if there is a hospital that you eventually want to work at.

4. Networking – Most don’t consider this a huge pro of travel nursing but it is! With an increase in the number of nurses that go on for an advanced degree, making connections with different hospitals, providers, and nurses can be very important when trying to find preceptors for graduate-level clinical rotations.

5. Avoid hospital and unit politics – Most don’t like to admit it, but bedside nursing comes with drama and politics. It can be as simple as a hierarchy based on seniority or something more serious. Being a travel nurse allows you to avoid all of this by not being fully invested in the unit but rather helping out for a very specific amount of time.

Cons of Travel Nursing in Oregon

1. Always the new person – Being new to a unit can be exciting but can also be frustrating or even lonely. Not knowing anyone on the unit can affect the type of help you will get in your work environment.

2. Not the best assignments – Some hospitals will assign travel nurses patients just like any other nurse on the unit. Others will assign them the easiest patients, the hardest patients, or the ones that no one wants to deal with.

3. First to float to another unit – Despite being contracted to a specific unit, most travel nurses will have to float to other parts of the hospital within their skill set. This again will make you the new person which can affect how others perceive you as well as assist you throughout the shift

4. Finding a place to live – All travel nurse companies offer their nurses places to live during each contract. However, it is not always in the location that you want, has the amenities you desire, and/or fits your needs. Contracts will offer a housing stipend instead, which most travel nurses take, but then finding appropriate housing falls on you.

5. Changing health insurance policies – With each contract may come a new health insurance policy. This will be dependent on the agency that you work with. If you switch between multiple agencies then there will most likely be a lapse in your health insurance. However, nurses can opt for private insurance and pay out of pocket. That way, when the assignment ends, you won’t lose your insurance.

Why Oregon?

Oregon has something to offer both the novice and experienced nurse and everyone in between. There are endless things to do on your day off. Enjoy a beer downtown with friends, hike the outer rim of Crater Lake, or take in the breathtaking mountains at a local vineyard. Competitive salaries and gorgeous locations make this west coast state a prime location for travel nurses. Its proximately to California (one of the most requested states for travel nursing) entices those that want to experience all the west coast has to offer!
