More about City and County of Denver
That same review said the hourly pay felt low and a supervisor was hard to reach. A former IT employee pointed to health insurance, schedule flexibility, PTO, and retirement benefits, and also described slow processes and frequent layoffs. Denver runs about 6% above the national cost of living, with a flat state income tax near 4.4% and a compact RN license. Downtown is high-rise and walkable; LoDo, RiNo, and Ballpark sit by Union Station and Coors Field. People looking for more space name Littleton, Highlands Ranch, and Roxborough. The average commute across the city is about 28 minutes. We do not have posted pay, staffing ratios, or a new-grad residency to show you for this employer. Hospital neighbors in the same market include Denver Health, AdventHealth, and National Jewish Health if you want a floor comparison. If municipal work, city benefits, and Denver itself are the draw, that is the honest case.

The reality check
Before you decide
Weighing a first job here?
The license clock and the job hunt run at once, and new-grad windows do the deciding. Residency commitments carry fine print worth reading before you sign.
