Working as a nurse in Cheyenne Wells
Cheyenne Wells is the seat of Cheyenne County on Colorado‘s Eastern Plains, near the Kansas line. Switch providers worked 429 hours here over the last twelve months across skilled nursing and long-term care, with CNA shifts posting through the week. Open shifts here go unclaimed regularly, so there is steady work available.
It serves a very rural stretch of the plains, and with only a handful of providers based locally, open shifts are rarely contested.
What people were actually paid here on completed shifts over the last twelve months: CNAs $28/hr, with top shifts reaching $31.50. You see the exact rate on every shift before you claim it.
Colorado is a Nurse Licensure Compact state, so a multistate RN or LPN license from another compact state is valid here without separate Colorado licensure. CNAs need an active Colorado nurse aide certification in good standing. Colorado also requires a CAPS background-check clearance.
