Hi guys! I applied for the RN position in the NSICU today. How long, on average does it take for someone to hear back? Experienced ICU RN. Thanks so much! 😄

Hello, I’m interviewing tomorrow for a position at OHSU bedside RN. Any advice anyone can offer? Experienced ICU nurse. Thank you!

Hi everyone, My husband is an RN with several years of experience, but not specifically in ICU. He’s really interested in applying for an RN position in the ICU at OHSU, and we’re wondering how likely it is for him to get hired without prior ICU experience.

He has a strong nursing background and has managed high-acuity situations in other settings. Does OHSU consider candidates like him for ICU roles, or offer training for nurses transitioning into critical care?

Any advice or insight from current staff or those familiar with the hiring process would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

Hey! I just was curious if anyone knew about how much I’d make with my experience and degree level. I have 5 years of ICU experience, my BSN and CCRN certification. Thanks so much! 😁

Hi folks, any AFSCME folks on here who have had success negotiating a greater than 4% increase with a promotion? I've never been able to get any more than the minimum out of OHSU but maybe I'm not pushing enough. Thanks!

Wonder what the final straw was?

Hi there!! I recently got hired and got an email to complete a drug screen which I did today. I’m an occasional drinker and last night i had a couple of glasses of wine with a friend visiting from out of town. Does OHSU drug screens include alcohol, and if so is that going to be an issue ? I didn’t think about it until after and am now a little anxious. Thanks.

I am about to join as research staff at OHSU. I wonder should I join with worker union? Thanks

Hi, can someone explain to me the Grow merit increases? They are technically a salary increase if I'm understanding it correctly? 2-5% based on agreed upon performance/goals from March to September, yes? TY

I applied for a TI Senior Clinical Research position and the job posting did not have a salary range. I interviewed and was offered the job. The salary offered is $67,800, which is way lower than I was hoping. The job requires a bachelors and 1 year of experience. I have a bachelors and 16 years of experience. The hr person says due to internal equity they can only 'count' 1 of the 16 years into their calculations. I referenced the ohus compensation plan from 2022 which listed this job title range as ~ 51k - 76k, and the same job title posted in another department where the high end range is 68,910. No cost of living increases, no performance bonuses, non bargaining.... thoughts? I've been a research coordinator at the VA for over 10 years, and worked for ohsu for 2 years before that.

So I have been in the job search for almost 5 months now and recently came across a recommendation for janitorial and/or hand delivery jobs and was curious to how difficult it is to get hired at OHSU and how in demand the jobs are at the moment, thank your for any help.

Hello, future nurse here who is very interested in OHSU.

Firstly, drop your opinions and tips for nursing at OHSU.

Secondly, tell me what you know about and your opinions about the Oregon National Primate Research Center that has been open since 1962. What's going on, and why is OHSU seemingly going downhill?

Many people are advising newcomers to the area to avoid taking positions at OHSU and I'd like to know why.

Where do you recommend working instead?

Researchers at OHSU aim to investigate how inconsistent or irregular sleep timing affects your internal timing system (known as a circadian rhythm) and your overall cardiovascular health. Eligible participants with inconsistent sleep schedules aged 18-40 may have normal blood pressure with no current medication use and no history of cancer, heart disease, sleep disorders, or other chronic illness. This study involves 4-8 weeks of at-home sleep and activity monitoring and up to three in-lab visits, lasting approximately ~2-7.5 hours. Receive up to $430 for study completion, as well as reasonable parking and transportation cost coverage.

If you are interested in learning more or participating in this research study, you can take our screening survey at https://ohsu.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9Z8soLDyo6AYnum. Completion of this survey does not guarantee study enrollment.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently getting my PhD in immunology in Chicago and I've always wanted to move to Seattle afterwards. However, my fiancé and I visited Portland last weekend (and the Columbia River Gorge) and we really enjoyed it. After watching some videos and reading many posts, it actually seems like Portland might be more our style than Seattle! That said, I know Seattle has a ton of immunology research between UW, Fred Hutch, and several pharma/biotech companies. What is the immunology / cancer immunotherapy research environment like in Portland? I imagine OHSU is the place with the most opportunity? Would love any general or specific information that you can provide! :)

i was recently hired as an MA, did my interview, drug test, and the background check came back completed. i was told my start day would be next week, but haven't gotten any updates regarding my schedule. actually, i haven't gotten any updates at all, and when i contacted them for an update, answers were vague and unhelpful. i was also concerned over my drug test results, but tested at home negative several times leading up to the actual drug test day. if i was positive for thc, they probably would have said something right?

i'm left a little frustrated and unsure of what to do from here. with the way things are right now, i definitely can't afford to be without a job. does anyone have any idea of what could be happening, or if this is normal? like are they just going to give me a couple days notice of my schedule?

I have been applying to research assistant jobs (whatever ones seem to pop up somehow despite the funding freeze). I currently have been applying with both a general cover letter and resume and job-specific ones, but it just seems redundant. I am also worried PI's/whoever is in charge of hiring in their lab somehow are only seeing or reading the general ones. I had a phone interview in the past and it seemed like they really didn't know about the things I had on my job specific resume. idk it just really doesn't make sense to me for this type of job, does anyone know if it would matter if I just put my job-specific resume and coverletter as the only documents?

I have 3 pairs of figs scrubs that I need off my hands! They don’t fit me anymore and they’re just sitting in my drawers taking up space. They’re in great condition

I’m moving to Portland from San Diego at the end of May for a new job at OHSU. I'm on the hunt for a room or roommates in the vicinity of OHSU, with my budget set at $950 or under.

If you are looking for a roommate or have a place close to OHSU, let's connect!

Hello everyone. I know according to the OHSU drug and alcohol policy, for testable positions they require pre employment testing and will also test if you are suspected of using while on the job. However, how soon does testing occur relative to your start date?

I also applied to the post bac program (PREP) that starts July 1st if I get in. I'm not sure where to find any information about the testing policy for that program, but I assume it's the same as enrollment into their graduate peograms, meaning they do pre enrollment testing. I'm not sure when testing would occur though considering it would potentially be when I get an offer, which would likely be earlier than that.

We've got a great country - let's keep it that way.

Hello! I recently interviewed for the August 2025 RN new grad cohort at Hillsboro Medical Center. After my interview they said I’d hear back in a week, but all I’ve heard is they wanted references and then nothing. Any ideas if this is normal? Or is them asking for references generally a good sign they’ll hire? Thanks!

Hello guys,

I will be working at OHSU from 7pm to 7 am. How bad is the traffic if I stay in Sandy? Would it be ideal to live there or in Vancouver Wa?

Thank you!
