Our BLS course, ACLS course, and PALS course are all accepted in Colorado as well as every state of the United States and in most international countries and regions. If for whatever reason you enroll in a course and it is not accepted, we offer a 100% money back guarantee for the first 14 days.
All of the statistics below are important to Colorado BLS, PALS and ACLS certified rescuers. Statistics and facts are compiled from research conducted by national health organizations and from state and national health reports.

Colorado is a very healthy state when compared to the other states in the region. In fact, it leads in most categories.
For instance, Colorado has the lowest adult obesity rate in the Western United States (21.4%). Actually, Colorado has the lowest obesity rate of any state in the country!
Colorado also has the highest median household income in the West at $60,442. This is about $6,500 more than the regional average of $53,412.00.
The only category where Colorado struggles is with low birth weight babies. Eight point nine percent (8.9%) of babies born in Colorado have low birth weight. This is the highest rate in the region.
Each state needs a competent medical workforce to meet the needs of its citizens. However, the requirements for some healthcare professions are not the same in each state. That is why it is important to find out what is required of you as a future or current registered nurse before moving across state lines. Contact information is located at the bottom of this page.
Colorado is a compact state. If you are moving to Colorado or claiming it as your primary state of residence, you will need to apply for licensure by endorsement in order to use your license in Colorado. General instructions are listed below.
Foreign-educated nurses must submit the CES Professional report from the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS).
All RN licenses expire on September 30 of an odd or even-numbered year, depending on when your license was issued. To renew your license, visit the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies website.
For application resources, see the Colorado Board of Nursing Applications and Forms page.
Continuing education is not required for nurses to renew their licenses in Colorado.
