Working as a CNA in Colorado Springs
Per diem CNA work in Colorado Springs runs across the Pikes Peak region’s skilled nursing and assisted living communities — from Briargate and Security-Widefield down toward Fountain. Most shifts are floor care in long-term care: vitals, ADLs, transfers, charting, and helping residents through the day alongside a charge nurse.
The market suits CNAs who want to work around something else. A large share of local CNAs are balancing shifts with school at UCCS or Pikes Peak State College, or with a military schedule tied to Fort Carson, Peterson, or Schriever. Picking up two or three shifts a week is common here, and so is claiming a run of nights or weekends when you want the higher premium.
Colorado has no reciprocity shortcut for nurse aides: you need to be listed in good standing on the Colorado Nurse Aide Registry before you can claim shifts. If you’re certified in another state, apply for Colorado certification by endorsement before you start.
