  • Attention: Online Services Will Be Unavailable June 23 & 24
    ​To streamline our licensing processes and create a basis for future improvements, the Board of Nursing will switch to a new database on June 24.  As a result, our online licensing renewal and endorsement systems will be down from 3 p.m. June 23 until 8 a.m. June 24.  Any incomplete applications in the pipeline will be lost.
     
    If you intend to seek licensure or relicensure in Oregon, we urge you to complete your application and click ‘submit’ with your payment choice before 3 p.m. June 23, 2013.  Otherwise, you will have to restart your application from scratch.
