Where Are the Travel Nursing Jobs in Wyoming?

About 70% of Wyoming's population live in primarily rural areas. Healthcare facilities are scattered throughout the state and provide care to underserved communities. According to Wyoming's Nursing Licensure agency, most RNs work for hospitals and medical centers, though a growing number of those with specialized skills and experience have positions at:

• Nursing homes
• Insurance companies
• Home healthcare agencies
• Ambulatory care

Wyoming has 16 hospitals designated as critical access centers and 24 rural health clinics. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) defines a hospital as critical access if it improves healthcare access for rural communities. Working at a critical access hospital or rural clinic allows an RN to help people often denied quality care.

A critical access hospital must:

• Have fewer than 26 acute care beds
• Offer 24/7 emergency service
• Be located at least 35 miles from any other hospital

Critical access hospitals offer many outpatient care services that rely on travel nursing staff with varied skills and experience, including specialties such as Emergency or Labor and Delivery nurses.

Wyoming: A Great Place to Live and Work

Wyoming offers a travel nursing assignment that combines hands-on care for an underserved population with a natural paradise. Wyoming is home to wide-open spaces, majestic mountains, and crystal-clear lakes and streams. Yellowstone National Park, the Grand Tetons, and Devils Tower are just a few of Wyoming's natural attractions.

The American Lung Association ranks Cheyenne, WY, and Casper, WY, as the 3rd and 4th cleanest cities in the United States. It also is among the most affordable states with a cost of living index well lower than the US average. For example, the average price of a home in Cheyenne, WY is less than half the national average. With this information in mind, it's surprising more people don't explore all the state has to offer.
