Nursing students at Northern Wyoming Community College District are educated in both classroom and clinical settings. Sheridan College & Gillette College offer an Associate of Applied Science Degree (AAS Degree) with an optional Practical Nursing exit (certificate) after the first year. The associate degree nursing program prepares the graduate to function as a Registered Nurse in providing care to clients with complex health care needs. Upon successful completion of this program, students are eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN).
Associate Degree
The Associate Degree Nursing Program is approved by the Wyoming State Board of Nursing and accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing.
About The Program
The nursing courses consist of two parts: classroom study and supervised clinical experience. Both classroom and clinical components must be completed for students to progress in the program. Clinical components are scheduled on various days and times based on agreements with clinical facilities.
The nursing courses are sequential and must be completed in the identified order. The non-nursing courses may be completed prior to or concurrent with the identified nursing courses. Students need to maintain grades of “C” or better in all nursing and science courses to continue in the program.
Students are responsible for purchasing required uniforms, selected laboratory supplies, and transportation to clinical experiences.
The Associate Degree Nursing program is approved by the Wyoming State Board of Nursing (130 Hobbs Avenue, Suite B, Cheyenne, WY 82002, 307-777-7601, fax 307-777-3519) and accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (3343 Peachtree Rd.
