Oregon nursing credentialing compliance
Verify before you rely on this. Renewal cycles, CE hours and compact status change as boards and legislatures update their rules, and the figures below have not all been confirmed against current board publications. Treat this page as a starting point and confirm the requirements with the Oregon board before making licensing or staffing decisions.
License types
| License | Renewal cycle | CE hours |
|---|---|---|
Registered Nurse (RN) | 24 months | — |
Licensed Practical / Vocational Nurse (LPN/LVN) | 24 months | — |
Audit gotchas specific to Oregon
- No periodic general CE-hour count; a one-time pain-management education plus a cultural-competency CE requirement apply — verify current OSBN rules.
