I'm not a full-time staffer at a Portland Hospital, but I'm anxious to hear what people say. I only have 1.5 years experience, but I have had no luck getting a job to relocate to Portland. I'm even semi-local as I lived in Portland before nursing school and sadly my husband still lives there. I think with your experience you will have better luck finding something. And with savings, I'm sure one to two months of networking in Portland would be enough to land a hospital job. Good luck to you.
