Healthcare pay and roles in Colorado

Applicants don't pick a license type in Colorado. Every nursing application goes through as a compact application, and the board may consider a single-state license for someone who doesn't qualify for the multistate one.

How Colorado decides which license you get

The board applies 11 qualification requirements to a multistate license, among them a qualifying education program and the NCLEX, no discipline or restriction, no prior state or federal felony conviction, no misdemeanor related to the practice of nursing as the board judges it case by case, a valid US Social Security number, and an English proficiency exam for a graduate of a foreign program. An applicant currently enrolled in an alternative program fails that test and has to disclose it either way. Someone who misses one of the 11 may still be considered for the single-state license, which costs the same.

Your questions about healthcare jobs in Colorado, answered

Can I work as a nurse practitioner in Colorado on another state's multistate license?

Yes, with a Colorado license of a particular kind on top of it. The board calls that one a Compact-APN, or C-APN, and it exists because Colorado belongs to the nurse licensure compact without belonging to the APRN compact. The multistate license carries the registered nurse half of the job across the state line and the advanced practice half comes from Colorado, which is worth settling before an interview for a Colorado nurse practitioner job.

Can Colorado reuse a background check I have already done?

No. The board says federal law requires a background check submitted specifically for the Colorado compact application, so a check you already have won't carry over. A hit on the new check doesn't automatically exclude anyone from license eligibility, though a felony conviction rules out the multistate license.

Does a Colorado multistate license cover telehealth into other states?

It covers patients located in other compact states. The board puts the test on where the patient is: treating or teaching into a compact state runs on the multistate license, and a patient sitting in a state outside the compact means applying to that state for its own single-state license.
