To give you an idea, you have to graduate before you can take the NCLEX exam. You can’t sign up for the nurse exam until you’ve graduated from school and the school sends your transcripts and paperwork. People often want to take a month or even more to study for the exam after graduation. For ex, the yr I graduated the month was July and took the test in Sept. But everyone is different in how long they want to study.As an Oregon nurse can you shed some light on how long it takes after graduation with a BSN before you can be hired as a nurse? Is it immediate or is there a state exam or something to study for and pass before getting a license? I'm asking because it may be relevant to some timelines I am putting together.
Regarding commute time, I googled it for next Wednesday morning leaving Melissa's apartment at 6:30 AM and it said 9-16 minutes. Of course I'd trust you as a local over google but I wanted to see what it said.
Public records state he graduated OHSU in 2022 (June?) Then, board nursing public records show he got license on 9/1/22 and per Oregonian article: “That same month he was hired as a nurse at the Providence Portland Medical Center, where he worked until October 2023.” There are lots of new grad programs and Prov has a nurse residency program that is a yr long (source: Providence Nursing Institute: RN Residency & Fellowship Program).
you can apply, interview and be offered the job but must have the license before you start. so really you can line things up for yourself to start pending you passing your test
