Post University NP clinicals in Wyoming: a letter to the board, a signed contract
In Post University's current NP disclosure, Wyoming reads Yes across the FNP, AGPCNP and PMHNP, so licensed RNs living here can enroll and train locally. Wyoming's board does not vet graduate programs the way it vets nursing schools, yet it keeps track of them: Post writes to it about each student training in the state, and a contract with the site comes first.

Wyoming's line in Post's disclosure
Post's Wyoming row is short. The license needs an unencumbered RN license, Wyoming or multistate, plus national certification; prescribing adds only an optional DEA number. All three MSN specializations meet the educational requirements, in Post's assessment. The row says nothing about how clinicals run in Wyoming; that comes from the board's rules below, and the disclosure guide explains the table's columns.
| Specialization or item | Wyoming, as Post lists it |
|---|---|
| FNP | Yes |
| AGPCNP | Yes |
| PMHNP | Yes |
| License title | Certified Nurse Practitioner |
| Other requirements, license | Unencumbered, active Wyoming or multistate RN license; certification through national nurse practitioner organization |
| Other requirements, prescribing | DEA number (optional) |
| Governing body | Wyoming State Board of Nursing (WSBN) |
Three checks the board applies to schools from other states
Wyoming's Chapter 6 rules split schools from other states into two camps. Those preparing new LPNs or RNs need the board's permission. The post-licensure camp, which takes in APRN and DNP programs, MSN programs and RN-to-BSN, needs no approval, only three checks:
- Registration or SARAPost satisfies this one through its institutional participation in NC-SARA; the other route is registering with Wyoming's Department of Education.
- A letter to the boardWhenever a Post student is headed to a Wyoming clinical site, the program informs the board in writing. A model cover letter is available from the board.
- A contract on fileSchool and facility sign a written contract before the first shift, and the school holds a copy the board can ask to see. For Post, that contract is the site's affiliation agreement; see the affiliation agreement guide.
Post sends the letter and signs the agreement; your part is naming the site early, so ask the Clinical Coordinator and compliance officer what lead time Wyoming needs.
Practice climate and the places to research
AANP classifies Wyoming as full practice. The board's license requirement for preceptors applies to pre-licensure schools only, so for you the deciding standard is Post's, on the preceptor requirements page.
Cheyenne, about 103,000 people, has Cheyenne Regional Medical Center. In Casper, a metro of roughly 81,000, the hospital is Banner Wyoming Medical Center, owned by Banner Health of Arizona. Gillette's micropolitan area, near 48,000, is home to Campbell County Health. Laramie has Ivinson Memorial Hospital, which is affiliated with UCHealth, and Sheridan has Sheridan Memorial Hospital. Banner's Arizona base does not carry Arizona's No into Wyoming, because Post's rule looks at the state where you train. Primary care is the FNP and AGPCNP target, within or beside these systems; PMHNP students look for behavioral health services. The list is a set of leads, not Post partners.
Licenses: the compact at home and on every border
Multistate licensing started in Wyoming on January 19, 2018. All six bordering states are compact members with a Yes in Post's table: Montana and Idaho on one side, Utah and Colorado to the south, Nebraska and South Dakota to the east. Each still needs Post's prior approval; Cheyenne students eyeing Fort Collins should read the Colorado guide. Utah is worth a note for PMHNP students: it gained that specialization in Post's table after the 2023 version.
Wyoming's APRN Compact sits in Title 33 of the state statutes, and the board keeps a page on it. It stays inactive until seven states enact it, and it concerns NP licensure, not the RN license Post's clinical-state rule depends on.
Why Wyoming students choose us
Both of Wyoming's paperwork checks hang on a named site, so we settle the site early. Before we introduce a preceptor, we confirm the facility is ready to sign Post's affiliation agreement, the contract Wyoming wants on file, and we hand Post complete site details with room for its written notice.
Our search runs through Cheyenne, Casper, Gillette, Laramie, Sheridan and the towns between, matched to primary care or psychiatric practice as your track requires. The preceptor's license report, certification and CV are gathered by us, the agreement letter comes back signed, each preceptorship is planned with you, and, should a preceptor withdraw, go back out and find another. Begin with the form below.
Questions Post students ask
Does Post have to notify the Wyoming board about my clinicals?
Yes, in writing. Wyoming asks each post-licensure program with a student bound for a clinical site in the state for a letter, and it provides a template. Post writes it; your job is getting a confirmed site to the Clinical Coordinator early enough for that letter to go out.
Is Wyoming's facility contract the same thing as Post's affiliation agreement?
They do the same job. Wyoming wants a written contract between the program and the facility signed before clinicals, with a copy kept for the board. Post needs every site's affiliation agreement fully executed, and its Academic Affairs staff reach out to the site within seven business days after your Tracker request.
Can a Cheyenne student do clinicals in Colorado?
Yes, if Post approves it before the clinical starts. Colorado is a Yes for all three tracks and a compact member, so your Wyoming multistate license works there. Colorado's board rules, as read for this guide, contain nothing that makes a graduate program from elsewhere seek approval first.
Can I use Wyoming's APRN Compact to practice as an NP elsewhere?
Not at this point. Wyoming enacted the compact, but it switches on only when seven states have done so. It would affect your NP license after graduation, not your clinicals. Check the Wyoming State Board of Nursing's APRN Compact page when you are ready to apply.
