Wyoming FNP Programs
Graduates of a Master of Science in Nursing Program (MSN) are eligible to apply for an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) License. Wyoming requires that all licensed registered nurses complete an undergraduate program approved by the Wyoming Board of Nursing. Undergraduates must then attend a Master's in Nursing Science program.
The Wyoming Board of Nursing has published an approved list of schools for undergraduate and graduate programs that are also nationally accredited. The Board requires that APRN applicants receive national certification in a role and population focus.
