A healthier state is in sight

By bringing Oregon's critical nursing shortage to light and envisioning new ways to increase the number of quality nurses working in the area, the Oregon Center for Nursing (OCN) aims to position Oregon and Southwest Washington as the region of choice for nursing professionals and to achieve and sustain a healthier state.

We are a dedicated group of nursing professionals who are executing a comprehensive strategic plan to solve the nursing shortage in Oregon. Our strategic plan includes increasing the number of nursing positions in our schools, transforming nursing education, and developing initiatives to recruit and retain nurses in our profession. It 's our belief that by working together, we will reach our goals.
