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 Native American Rehabilitation Association of the Northwest, Inc. (NARA)

Days for Clinic Triage RN and clinic physicians are built as Monday–Friday, 8:00am–5:00pm in person, though triage can still ask for evenings or flexibility.

Pay for Clinic Triage RN is stated from $43.25/hr to $50.90/hr. That top rate sits a bit under the hourly median showing for Legacy Health nearby, so you can weigh the schedule and the mission against the market number before you apply.
