Working as a nurse in Grand Junction
Grand Junction is the largest city on Colorado‘s Western Slope, at the confluence of the Colorado and Gunnison rivers. Switch providers worked 253 hours here over the last twelve months across skilled nursing and long-term care, with CNA and LPN shifts posting through the week. Open shifts here go unclaimed regularly, so there is steady work available.
It anchors care for the entire western third of the state, drawing nurses from Fruita, Palisade, and Delta.
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.
