|
The goal of Western Wyoming Community College’s Nursing Program is to educate students to become competent beginning nurses. The nursing student will learn about professional nursing care for health promotion and multiple stages of illness through concept-based learning. Students are given opportunities to learn and to practice nursing in skills and simulation laboratories and in a variety of clinical settings. Successful completion of the Nursing Program allows the graduate to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nursing (NCLEX-RN). State licensure is required for employment as a registered nurse in Wyoming.
Outreach Opportunities for Associate Degree in Nursing
Western Wyoming Community College serves a significant number of students who live outside of the Rock Springs and Green River area. In an effort to meet the needs of a diverse student population, the nursing program has several options that help students participate in the nursing curriculum.
- The didactic portion of nursing courses is offered either face-to-face or via synchronous distance learning methods. Regardless of didactic delivery modality, all students are required to attend clinical and laboratory experiences in person. There is not an entirely on-line program option at this time.
- Some clinical experiences are available in outreach communities across the service area.
- All nursing students will be required to travel to attend learning experiences in the service area of Southwest Wyoming.
All nursing students will be required to travel to the main campus to attend lab and clinical experiences.
- Offerings are dependent on student enrollment, faculty and physical resources to meet the learning objectives.
