Colorado Nurses Going Remote: Your Guide to Thriving in the State’s Booming Telehealth Scene

Why Colorado Is Telehealth’s New Frontier

If you’re a nurse in Colorado, you already know this state is bursting with more than craft beer and hiking trails. Lately, it’s blowing up with telehealth opportunities too. With a combo of cutting-edge health tech startups, progressive health systems (hello, UCHealth and Children’s Hospital Colorado!), and a statewide priority on improving access to care, it’s the perfect storm for nurses ready to trade badge swipes for Zoom calls.

Types of Remote Roles: Clinical, Non-Clinical, and Everything in Between

Let’s be real—telehealth isn’t just triaging colds in your bunny slippers (not that we’re judging). Colorado’s remote nursing gigs run the gamut.
Here are a few doors worth knocking on:

• Telehealth Triage Nurse (working with local giants like UCHealth)
• Care Coordinator for Insurtech Startups (think Denver’s CirrusMD or Boulder’s DispatchHealth)
• Remote Case Manager for public health organizations (hello, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment!)
• Clinical Documentation & Informatics—CO startups love data-savvy nurses!
• Patient Educator for companies bringing diabetes or CHF care into patients’ living rooms

In short: Whether you’re patient-facing or geek out over workflows and tech, Colorado’s telehealth landscape has a place for you.

What Sets You Apart as a Colorado Nurse?

Here’s the secret sauce: Colorado nurses tend to be adaptable (altitude headaches, anyone?), already used to interprofessional teamwork, and familiar with the region’s unique patient populations—from city dwellers to rural ranchers. Pump up these traits on your telehealth resume and in interviews. Use real examples, like, “Managed virtual care for a ski-town clinic during blizzard season.”

Expert Tips to Nail the Remote Job Hunt

• Get LinkedIn (Really, Do It)
  If you’ve been hiding from LinkedIn, now’s the time to update your profile. Denver’s startups scan for nurses with remote/tech experience.
• Check Local Job Boards
  Many listings are exclusive to places like the Telehealth Nurse Network job board, or even Colorado Nurses Association boards.
• Network Like You Mean It
  This is a Friendly State™—join virtual coffee chats, Facebook groups (like the Telehealth Nurse Network Community), or local virtual hiring fairs. Your next job could come from a neighbor who knows someone at DispatchHealth.
• Brush Up on Colorado Licensure
  CO is part of the Nurse Licensure Compact, making it easier to work across state lines, though certain telehealth jobs require a CO license. Double-check requirements for each company.
