The city
Living in Portland, OR
Portland pairs a laid-back Pacific Northwest lifestyle with a thriving food, coffee, and craft-brew scene. The Willamette River splits the city into distinct east and west sides, and Forest Park offers one of the nation's largest urban wilderness escapes. It's a magnet for nurses who want outdoor access without leaving city limits.

More about Jackson House Portland King Clinic
At Jackson House Portland King Clinic you work inside smaller 16-bed residential settings and related outpatient residential sites across Portland and Oregon City, in partnership with Jory Behavioral Health, with a person-centered, trauma-informed, recovery-oriented approach. Your schedule options include part-time, full-time, and PRN. Full-time is described as flexible with a consistent clinical schedule, and the team expects multi-facility cross-training rather than one permanent house. Day to day you sit with psychiatrists, other nurses, QMHAs, and residential staff. Full-time benefits on the table include 401(k), health, dental, vision, life insurance, and paid time off; pay is only called competitive against industry averages, without a posted number here. If you want growth, the stated path is ongoing supervision, in-service training on current practices and state and federal laws, and opportunities to advance. The honest tradeoff is geographic: you practice across more than one Portland and Oregon City location, so knowing the map matters as much as knowing your patients.
Person-centered, trauma-informed, recovery-oriented care for Oregon adults with SPMI, with an emphasis on dignity in smaller residential settings.
