Compliance

WHO SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT?

Anyone may file a complaint which we strongly encourage through the Online Complaint Portal.

Employers, Licensees and Certificate Holders are  required to report incidents when an APRN, RN, LPN or CNA has been terminated, voluntarily or involuntarily, for any act/incident which would be a violation of the Board’s Rules or the Nurse Practice Act. (See Wyoming Statute § 33-21-153) for specific reporting requirements). 

Licensees or Certificate holders must self disclose in the case of an impending criminal charge or civil violation.  (See Wyoming Statute   § 33-21-146(a)(viii) for specific reporting requirements). Also, use the complaint portal if you have a complaint on an education program.

WHY SHOULD I FILE A COMPLAINT?

Wyoming State Board of Nursing’s mission is “to serve and safeguard the people of Wyoming through the regulation of nursing education and practice.”  You can help WSBN fulfill its mission by filing a complaint.

Complaints should be submitted as soon as practical. There are no time limits on complaint filing.
