Oregon LPN to RN/BSN Programs

Last Updated/Verified: Sep 11, 2023

The west coast state of Oregon places a huge emphasis on improved patient outcomes, leading many LPNs to consider going back to school to become an RN. The state offers numerous LPN to RN bridge programs to serve this very purpose. RNs are able to work more autonomously, have their choice of specialization areas, and have substantially higher salaries. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that RNs in Oregon earn an average of $36,840 more per year than LPNs in the state do.
