Working as a LPN in Colorado Springs
LPN shifts in Colorado Springs sit mostly in skilled nursing, rehab, and long-term care across the Pikes Peak region. A typical shift is medication passes, treatments and wound care, resident assessments, and charting — often as the licensed nurse on a hall working with several CNAs.
Colorado is a Nurse Licensure Compact state, so if you hold a multistate LPN license from another compact state you can work here without applying for a separate Colorado license. That makes the market unusually accessible for nurses moving to the Front Range or picking up shifts while relocating.
Rates in Colorado Springs have run high for LPNs relative to the rest of the state — this is a growing market where facilities have been paying premiums to fill hard-to-cover shifts, particularly nights and weekends. That’s an advantage while it lasts, and it’s visible in what shifts actually pay rather than in a posted starting rate.

FAQs about working in Colorado Springs
How much do per diem LPNs make in Colorado Springs?
Rates vary by facility, shift, and time of week — nights, weekends, and holidays pay more than weekday shifts. You see the exact rate on every shift in the Switch app before you claim it, so there's no guessing and no negotiating.
Do I need a Colorado license to work LPN shifts in Colorado Springs?
Colorado is a Nurse Licensure Compact state, so a multistate LPN license from another compact state is valid here. If your license is single-state or from a non-compact state, apply through the Colorado Board of Nursing before claiming shifts.
How often do LPN shifts post in Colorado Springs?
New LPN shifts post throughout the week, and you can set the facilities, days, and shift times you want to see. There's no minimum commitment — pick up one shift or build a full schedule.
How fast do I get paid?
Once your shift is approved you can cash out the next day with SwitchPay, rather than waiting on a two-week pay cycle.
What do I need to start working in Colorado Springs?
An active LPN license (or a valid multistate compact license), current BLS/CPR certification, COVID vaccination or a signed exemption form, and a current TB test (skin or chest X-ray within the past year, or blood test within two years). You'll also take six short skills tests in the app — about five minutes each — and pass a background check. There are no reference checks. In Colorado, long-term care staff also need to clear a CAPS check (Colorado Adult Protective Services).
