Colorado Overview
Working as an NP in Colorado
Colorado currently has 20 active nurse practitioner postings from 10 employers, with hiring concentrated in Denver, Avon, and Boulder. By posting volume, the most active categories right now are Full-Time, Psychiatric Mental Health, and Remote. On the regulatory side, AANP places Colorado in its full practice category. AANP uses this category where state law lets NPs evaluate patients, diagnose, order and interpret diagnostic tests, and initiate and manage treatment, including prescribing medications and controlled substances, under the exclusive licensure authority of the state board of nursing. Some of these states first require a transition period. States in the same category still set different requirements, so check the Colorado rules themselves before applying. No median is published for Colorado postings yet, so compare compensation posting by posting. Colorado's Nurse Licensure Compact membership covers the RN license beneath the APRN credential. The APRN license itself is still issued by Colorado.
Posted pay in Colorado
20 postings in Colorado state a salary from 10 employers. A state median appears once at least 5 postings from at least 3 employers list annual pay for an NP role, with no single employer above 40% of them. The national median for nurse practitioners is $132,300 (BLS OEWS, Nurse Practitioners (29-1171), median annual wage, May 2025).
Work mode and schedule
5 of 20 open roles are remote, 6 are hybrid and 9 are on site.
Where employers list a schedule, Full-Time leads with 16, then Part-Time (1) and Per Diem (1).
Remote roles still name the states they require licensure in, so check each posting before applying.
