As a travel RN with We Care Staffing, you'll deliver direct, hands-on patient care at the bedside. That means assessing patients, developing and carrying out care plans, administering medications and treatments, documenting in the facility's EMR, and educating patients and families along the way. You'll step into an established care team as a fully contributing member from week one, collaborating with physicians, therapists, and fellow nurses while bringing the adaptability that makes experienced travelers so valuable to busy units.
We fill Oregon RN contracts across the specialties facilities need most. That includes critical care (ICU), emergency, medical-surgical, and telemetry or step-down units, along with specialty roles in labor and delivery (L&D), NICU, the operating room (OR), PACU, oncology, and behavioral health. Whatever your unit, your recruiter matches you to assignments that fit your experience rather than simply whatever happens to be open.

Oregon is consistently among the highest-paying states for nurses per BLS data, with union-influenced pay scales at Portland's major systems setting the bar: OHSU, Providence, and Legacy Health all carry strong base rates that pull travel packages up with them.
We Care Staffing's current Oregon RN contracts pay up to $2,500 per week on a 5x8 schedule with day, evening, and night shifts. Oregon also enacted hospital nurse staffing ratio legislation in 2023, a working-conditions improvement travelers feel on the floor.

Travel pay here works the way it does on most contracts: a taxable hourly wage plus tax-free housing and meal stipends for travelers with a qualifying tax home. Stipends are benchmarked to federal GSA per diem rates for the assignment location, so the same weekly number can net differently city to city; we break that down for you up front.
Oregon has a graduated state income tax that reaches 9.9%, but no state sales tax. For benchmarking: Staff RNs nationally average about $45 per hour per BLS data. Travel contracts typically exceed staff equivalents once tax-free stipends are counted, and the figures above give you the floor to negotiate from.

Oregon is not a member of the Nurse Licensure Compact, so you'll need a Oregon RN license by endorsement through the Oregon State Board of Nursing (OSBN) even if you hold a multistate license. Compact legislation has been introduced in Oregon but not enacted, so for now every traveler needs an OSBN license. Apply for the license before you start your contract search and track it closely; a complete first submission is the single best way to protect your start date.
