As a travel RN with We Care Staffing, you'll deliver direct, hands-on patient care at the bedside. That means assessing patients, developing and carrying out care plans, administering medications and treatments, documenting in the facility's EMR, and educating patients and families along the way. You'll step into an established care team as a fully contributing member from week one, collaborating with physicians, therapists, and fellow nurses while bringing the adaptability that makes experienced travelers so valuable to busy units.
We fill Colorado RN contracts across the specialties facilities need most. That includes critical care (ICU), emergency, medical-surgical, and telemetry or step-down units, along with specialty roles in labor and delivery (L&D), NICU, the operating room (OR), PACU, oncology, and behavioral health. Whatever your unit, your recruiter matches you to assignments that fit your experience rather than simply whatever happens to be open.

Colorado's Front Range is one of the fastest-growing healthcare corridors in the country, and its systems hire travelers year-round to keep pace: UCHealth's academic flagship in Aurora, HealthONE's Denver network, and mountain-town hospitals that surge every ski season.
We Care Staffing's current Colorado RN contracts pay up to $2,500 per week on a 12x3 schedule with day and night shifts. Add a compact state's fast start, a flat 4.4% income tax, and 300 days of sunshine, and Colorado is one of the easiest yes decisions in travel nursing.

Travel pay here works the way it does on most contracts: a taxable hourly wage plus tax-free housing and meal stipends for travelers with a qualifying tax home. Stipends are benchmarked to federal GSA per diem rates for the assignment location, so the same weekly number can net differently city to city; we break that down for you up front.
Colorado has a flat state income tax of about 4.4%. For benchmarking: Staff RNs nationally average about $45 per hour per BLS data. Travel contracts typically exceed staff equivalents once tax-free stipends are counted, and the figures above give you the floor to negotiate from.

Colorado is a member of the Nurse Licensure Compact, which means a multistate NLC license issued by your home state lets you practice in Colorado without applying for a separate license. If your home state is not a compact member, you'll apply for Colorado licensure by endorsement through the Colorado State Board of Nursing (DORA). For compact-license travelers, the practical effect is speed: once credentialing is complete, you can typically start within 1 to 2 weeks.

We Care Staffing places registered nurses at facilities across Colorado's major systems, including UCHealth, HealthONE, CommonSpirit, and Denver Health. Demand concentrates in Denver, Colorado Springs, and Aurora, with additional needs across the state's regional and community facilities.
