Psych Travel assignment in Oregon

[TransfemmeRN]

Hi there,

I have some traveler experience but never have done a psych assignment in Oregon. Does anyone know any resources to learn about involuntary psych hospitalization laws and regulations about restraints and seclusions?

Also I'm having little luck trying to find housing in the Portland area. Airbnb and Furnished Finders have not been helpful besides overpriced rooms that cost as much as one bedroom apartments.

Mods, please feel free to move this thread to another section.

Thank you

I'm sure the state has all of that available online?

Cheers to psych though - I just took a county job and it sounds like a s*** show and I can't wait. lmao

I'd think such fundamental stuff would be covered in unit orientation. Even general facility orientation where I have certainly heard restraint policies and law many times.
