Why should someone in Oregon sign up for courses through the ACLS Training Center? With a BLS certification, Oregon residents will be prepared for the health challenges that they may encounter. Obesity, for example, can cause a number of life-threatening health conditions. Like Washington, Oregon’s adult obesity rate ranks high in the Western region of the United States. In fact, Oregon has the highest rate of obese adults at twenty-seven point six percent (27.6%). Interestingly, adult obesity and childhood obesity don’t mirror as you would expect. In fact Oregon’s childhood obesity rate is one of the lowest in the region at twenty-four point three percent (24.3%).
By taking advantage of our PALS recertification, Oregon first responders can provide for the emergency care needs of infants and small children. Aside from Alaska, Oregon has the lowest rate of low birth weight babies in the Western region. Only six point one percent (6.1%) of babies born in Oregon have lower than average weight.
Each state needs a competent medical workforce to meet the needs of its citizens. However, the requirements for some health care professions are not the same in each state. That is why it is important to find out what is required of you as a future or current registered nurse before moving across state lines. Contact information is located at the bottom of this page.

If you are currently licensed and in good standing in the US or one of its territories, you may be eligible for endorsement. Formerly licensed nurses may be eligible too. There are a few education and legal requirements. The nursing program you graduated from must be approved by the Oregon State Board of Nursing (OSBN). Secondly, you will have to undergo the required criminal background check.
The OSBN also has practice requirements. They require you to have a minimum of 960 hours of work experience as a nurse within the last five years. However, if you have recently graduated from an approved program, then you may still be eligible for endorsement.
You will also be asked to verify your license and NCLEX exam results. If you were trained outside the US, you will also need to submit proof of your English language proficiency.
License renewals take place every two years and expire the day before your birthday on even years if you were born on an even year, and on odd years if you were born on an odd year. The cost of renewal is $159.
For foreign educated nurses, information on approved independent services for credential evaluations and language proficiency examinations is available.
For more information, or to apply for endorsement, visit the Oregon State Board of Nursing endorsement forms page. You may also call the OSBN directly at the number located at the bottom of this page.
Oregon, unlike many other states, does not necessarily have a continuing education requirement. There is a required seven-hour pain management course that is taken online; however, it does not keep an RN from their license. Click Oregon Pain Management Course information for more information.

Sep 17, 2023 --Andy, Kim Brocchini, and their son, Will, stumbled upon a distressing sight when they discovered their Yorkshire terrier/poodle mix, Whitney, motionless in their pool, amidst the company of four larger dogs. Despite Whitney’s usual swimming prowess, they suspected she was accidentally pushed into the water amid the larger dogs. Will acted swiftly, diving in to rescue her. Initially lifeless, Whitney was revived after Andy, a seasoned EMT/firefighter, performed CPR—a skill he had recently researched for their other dog’s respiratory issue. Rushed to a veterinary clinic and then UC Davis’ animal hospital, Whitney battled lung complications from drowning and CPR, ultimately making a remarkable recovery after intensive care and dedicated attention from the veterinary team. Gradually improving over weeks, Whitney returned home with encouragement to resume normal activities by her devoted owners and the medical team's guidance.
