The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics notes that all states could face a severe nursing shortage over the next decade, and Wyoming is no exception. The number of openings for registered nursing jobs and health care administrators in the Equality State is growing faster than the supply of nursing school graduates capable of filling them, according to the Wyoming Health Care Commission. Consequently, Wyoming employers have increased recruitment efforts to confront future shortages in the health care industry.

Licensed practical nurses (LPN) and registered nurses (RN) in Wyoming must have a certificate, associate's, bachelor, or master's degree in nursing, and pass a national nursing examination to receive a Wyoming nursing license. Medical and health services managers are generally required to have a bachelor's degree. However, many employers prefer to hire health care administrators with a master's degree in business administration (MBA). Nursing and health care education programs in Wyoming are the doors through which you can enter the states thriving medical care industry.
