User Account Information
OCEAN continuing education for nurses is available for all nurses in the state of Oregon and beyond.- If you are a member of the Oregon Nurses Association, the largest professional nursing organization in the state, you have free or reduced cost access to the courses in OCEAN by logging in using your ONA website login information.
- If you are not a member of ONA but fall into the following categories, you will also use your ONA website login information, but you will be charged non-member pricing and will not have access to ONA member only content.
- Non-member who is currently working within an ONA-represented bargaining unit (for example, a fair share payer)
- Non-member who previously worked within an ONA-represented bargaining unit
- Former ONA member who is not currently an active member
- If you have no affiliation with ONA, you will need to create an account directly through the OCEAN website.
- NPO Members: If you are a member of the Nurse Practitioners of Oregon, you are also a member of ONA and therefore will use your ONA website login information to access the system. Please note that this is not the same login information that you would use to access the NPO website. Your username for both is your email address, but the passwords are separate and must be set individually.
If you have a question about your membership status, please email us at OCEAN@oregonrn.org and we will be happy to assist you.
