Transferring RN license from Texas to Oregon

Published

Hi,

I am currently getting my RN in Texas. My boyfriend and I both really want to move to Oregon right when I get my RN. Would this be possible? I'm wondering since I know the qualifications are different for each state. My original plan was to graduate with my RN in Texas, move to Oregon and get a job, then get my BSN at the same time. Would I be able to move to Oregon right away with my new RN license from Texas?

Thanks!

If you will not be working in TX, you can always save money and steps by applying directly to Oregon for licensure. Oregon is not a compact state, so you do not have to reside there to obtain an Oregon nursing license.
