Active Registered Nurse licences in Colorado

92,890 active licences carry this exact DORA type — the 1st most numerous of the 92 with a page here, across 749 Colorado cities.

What this licence is

Registered Nurse is one of the 204 licence types the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies issues, in the Nursing family. Practising a regulated profession in Colorado without a current licence is unlawful, which is why DORA publishes this register for the public to check.

When this licence has to be renewed

DORA renews this type on a two year cycle , in odd and even years, with the licence expiring on 30-Sep. That date is the same for everyone holding it — which is why 92,890 renewals fall due together every September.

DORA publishes this in a 344-row table of codes. It is not published anywhere as a calendar. The whole calendar, month by month.

1,159 of the 92,890 active licences of this type carry a disciplinary action in DORA's file — 1.2%.

This site publishes that count and no more: never who, and never a case number. DORA records the type of action and no reason at all, and the two most common entries statewide are a stipulation and a letter of admonition — agreed outcomes. Every licence counted here is active. Why that line is drawn there.
