Become a Nurse in Wyoming – ADN and BSN Programs

There is a high demand for registered nurses in the state of Wyoming. There is an aging population in Wyoming and professional nurses are needed to provide health care to this amazing population. Career opportunities in hospitals, long-term care, home health, alzheimer’s units, physician offices and related facilities are abundant. It is a great time to make the decision to become a nurse.

According to the Wyoming State Board of Nursing’s licensure requirements for registered professional nurses, the first step is to apply and enroll in a Wyoming State Board of Nursing approved associate’s (2-year) or baccalaureate (4-year) nursing program. You can find the nursing schools offering these programs listed below. BSN programs will often include additional emphasis on research, communication and leadership skills. Research the programs and curriculum to decide on whether a 4-year or 2-year program fits your needs and career goals. You can always enroll in an ADN/RN to BSN program later in your career if you choose an associate’s degree nursing program now.
