Getting licensed as a CRNA in Oregon

  1. RN license. Hold an active RN license that covers Oregon, which means a Oregon RN license. Moving from another state? See licensure by endorsement.
  2. NBCRNA certification. Pass the National Certification Examination after graduating from an accredited program, then keep it current.
  3. APRN license. Apply to the Oregon State Board of Nursing for advanced practice recognition as a CRNA (the exact title and process vary by state). The Nurse Licensure Compact does not cover APRN authority.
  4. Prescriptive and controlled substance authority where your role needs it, including a DEA registration. See APRN credentialing.

Processing times and requirements change, so check the board's website before you apply. Some states offer a temporary permit while your application is processed.
