Who is required to be fingerprinted and undergo a national fingerprint-based criminal background check to be considered for licensure/certification by the Oregon State Board of Nursing (OSBN)?
As of 1-1-2008, all applicants for new Oregon nursing licenses and certificates, as well as applicants for Reactivation, are required to undergo a national (FBI) fingerprint-based background check. (This includes Endorsement Applications, Exam Applications, Reactivations, and late Renewals 61 or more days past expiration date.) The OSBN has performed state background checks on all applications for many years; the addition of national criminal background checks will greatly enhance the OSBN’s ability to protect the public.
