RN / NP scope for injectables in Wyoming
Wyoming writes prescribing authority into the DEFINITION of the advanced practice registered nurse. An APRN is a nurse who may prescribe, administer, dispense or provide nonprescriptive and prescriptive medications, including prepackaged medications, except Schedule I drugs; who has responsibility for the direct care and management of patients and clients in relation to their human needs, disease states and therapeutic and technological interventions; who holds a doctorate or master's degree in nursing or an APRN specialty, or completed an accredited APRN educational program before January 1, 1999; and who has completed an advanced program of study in a specialty area, passed a national certification examination in that same area, and been granted licensure by the board to practice as an APRN. The authority and the qualifications are stated together in one definition, so each element is a condition of the role. Physician assistants are described differently again: the statute says a physician assistant is an individual who practices medicine, qualified by education, training and experience to provide a broad range of diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive services, who may collaborate with or refer to the appropriate member of a healthcare team — and it puts the degree of collaboration at the practice level, which may include decisions made by the employer, group, hospital service or the credentialing and privileging systems.
"Advanced practice registered nurse (APRN)" means a nurse who may prescribe, administer, dispense or provide nonprescriptive and prescriptive medications including prepackaged medications, except schedule I drugs as defined in W.S. 35-7-1013 and 35-7-1014.

MedSpaRadar is regulatory monitoring and reference: it summarizes public laws, regulations and agency actions and links each to its source. It is not legal, medical, or compliance advice, and using it creates no attorney-client relationship. A summary can lag its source or leave out detail, and monitoring itself can be interrupted — so an absence of alerts means nothing reached you, not that nothing happened. Read the cited source, check its effective date, and confirm any change to your operations or clinical practice with qualified health-law counsel and your medical director.
