Nursing programs in Oregon are graduating some of the top registered nurses in the country. Unfortunately, there haven’t been enough nursing school graduates to meet the high demand for highly skilled registered nurses in Oregon. This has created a critical nursing shortage in the state that needs to be solved. The rural areas of Oregon are feeling the impact of the nursing shortage to a greater extent due to the lack of access to nursing education facilities.

 

We have focused on providing rural Oregon access to nursing school education through CCNE (Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education) accredited online nursing schools. These online nursing schools have also created opportunities for registered nurses seeking their BSN or MSN who are waitlisted or turned away from other Oregon nursing programs. The cost per credit is similar to other Oregon nursing schools and the schools you find on this site will also help students find clinical training locations.

 

The University of Phoenix School of Nursing has a number of campus locations in Oregon offering RN to BSN and MSN programs if physically attending class is a more appealing option. Qualified applicants can again avoid waitlists in most cases at this Oregon nursing school. If you are a registered nurse seeking to advance your career in nursing this is a great place to start your research. Request free information from the nursing programs you find on this site.

 

Oregon Nursing Job Outlook and Salary Information

 

The job outlook for nurses in Oregon is very good, primarily due to the critical nursing shortage the state is experiencing. Hospitals all over the state are offering sign on bonuses, flexible work schedules, great benefits packages and plenty more enticements, especially for registered nurses holding a baccalaureate degree in nursing. There has not been a better time to become a nurse in Oregon.

 

According to the 2006 Occupational Summary for Registered Nurses by the Oregon Employment Department, the Median hourly wage for a registered nurse is $29.77 and the average annual salary is $61,523. These wages will vary depending on experience, location and specialty.
