Licensing Agency

Wyoming issues nursing licenses through the State Board of Nursing and enforces education clinical training and continuing competence requirements. Sparse population and rural service areas increase reliance on cross trained staff and on telehealth for remote coverage. Employers commonly require state licensure national certification and documented competency for clinical practice.

Continuing Education

Continuing education is required for renewal and often includes modality specific credits and safety training. Nurses commonly participate in regional continuing education and employer provided competency assessments. Telehealth and regional networks provide peer review and continuing education opportunities.
