That Drive
Change
Built for Oregon. Grounded in Data. Focused on Impact.
OCN’s programs translate research into relevance. Each initiative is designed to help leaders, funders, and system stakeholders act on what matters most — workforce resilience, retention, leadership, and alignment.
We convene the right people, elevate field-informed insight, and pilot actionable tools that serve the long-term health of Oregon’s nursing workforce. Whether you need a model to scale or a conversation to start, our programming helps you respond with clarity, not guesswork.
Our Current Programs
Explore a sampling of our active and legacy programs. From statewide initiatives to standing events, these efforts reflect our ongoing work with partners across Oregon’s healthcare and education systems.
Friday Huddle
A standing, open-access virtual forum where Oregon's nursing workforce leaders, educators, and collaborators gather weekly to share insights, troubleshoot challenges, and surface trends in real time. Hosted every Friday morning, the Huddle fosters statewide visibility and connection across institutions — no agendas, just timely conversation.
RN Well-Being Project
This initiative examines and addresses the structural and environmental drivers of nurse burnout, turnover, and psychological strain. Guided by statewide research and system partner input, the RN Well-Being Project elevates collective strategies to improve workforce conditions — not just individual coping.
RENEW Initiative
RENEW is a multi-year, state-funded initiative tackling nurse educator challenges in Oregon. The program supports retention, recruitment, and impact scaling through data collection, funded interventions, and stakeholder-led implementation — strengthening the teaching workforce that supports the clinical pipeline.
Outstanding Preceptor Awards
A statewide recognition program celebrating the critical role of nurse preceptors — those who guide, orient, and mentor nurses as they enter new roles or settings. By spotlighting preceptor excellence, this program strengthens workforce entry and retention at every level.
Oregon Nursing Conferences
OCN's conferences and seminars bring together professionals, educators, and leaders from across the state for an exchange of diverse strategies and innovative approaches to address current nursing workforce challenges. Past programs have addressed nurse well-being and nursing career transitions.
