Working as a CNA in Pueblo
Per diem CNA shifts here are hands-on floor care across skilled nursing, rehab, and long-term care — vitals, ADLs, transfers, feeding assistance, and charting alongside a charge nurse. It is the highest-volume per diem role in this market, and it suits people balancing shifts with school, family, or a second job.
Pueblo anchors care for southern Colorado, with UCHealth Parkview Medical Center and CommonSpirit St. Mary-Corwin anchoring acute care in the city. A network of skilled nursing and assisted living communities across Pueblo West and the surrounding county keeps CNA shifts available through the week.
CNAs must hold an active Colorado nurse aide certification in good standing before claiming shifts — certification does not transfer automatically, so if you’re certified in another state, apply to Colorado by endorsement first. Colorado also requires a CAPS background-check clearance.
