Working as a nurse in Greeley

From acute care hospitals to skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and senior-living communities across Evans, Windsor, and Eaton, Greeley offers a solid mix of settings for RNs, LPNs, and CNAs.
Banner Health’s North Colorado Medical Center and UCHealth Greeley Hospital anchor acute care locally, while a network of skilled nursing and assisted living communities across Weld County keeps per diem opportunities available throughout the week.

About Greeley
Home to the University of Northern Colorado and a metro growing past 350,000, Greeley combines its agricultural roots with rapid Front Range growth. Rising demand across senior care and acute settings makes it a steady market for nurses picking up flexible per diem shifts.
Nursing pay in Greeley, Colorado
RNs working per diem across Colorado are paid $46.50–$60.63/hr, LPNs $36–$55.65, and CNAs $24–$30 (Switch — rates paid on completed shifts, last 12 months).
Figures are the middle 50% of hourly rates actually paid to providers on completed Switch shifts over the last 12 months, including weekend and holiday premiums, measured across Colorado where a role has too little local shift history to report on its own. Rates vary by facility and shift — you’ll see the exact rate on every shift before you claim it. As a 1099 provider you cover self-employment tax and benefits.
What nurses actually earn in Greeley, Colorado
Switch rates are what providers were actually paid on completed shifts over the past year — not a starting rate. Shown against local wages for employed staff nurses.
| Role | Switch (1099 per diem) | Local staff wages (W-2) |
|---|---|---|
| CNA | $24–$30/hr top shifts to $36 | $22–$23/hr |
| LPN | $36–$55.65/hr top shifts to $58.50 | $31–$38/hr |
| RN | $46.50–$60.63/hr top shifts to $67.50 | $39–$50/hr |
Switch figures are the middle 50% of hourly rates actually paid on completed shifts in the last 12 months, including weekend and holiday premiums; “top shifts” is the 95th percentile. Local staff wages are employed (W-2) hourly ranges from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2025. As a 1099 provider you cover self-employment tax and benefits, so the two figures are not directly equivalent.
