Step 2: Education Once prerequisites are complete, you must apply to a suitable nursing education program. There are typically more applicants than spots, so doing well in prerequisites is important. And once accepted studies begin by introducing nursing concepts, theory and practices. From patient care to nurse management, those in ADN and BSN programs work towards licensure as a Registered Nurse (RN). And those in a BSN program use their extra two years of studies to undertake advanced learning about topics ranging from nurse education, to research, management and more. Indeed, BSN students have the opportunity to direct their elective studies and specialize in an area of nursing that appeal to the individual student—for this reason, around half of the nursing students nationwide choose the BSN route. Step 3: Licensure Taking the NCLEX licensure exam is the last step to graduating from a Wyoming nursing education program and becoming a nurse in Wyoming. The test is standardized for all nursing students nationwide, and is designed to make sure a student’s knowledge and skills are sufficient to ensure capable and safe nursing practices.
