Registered Nurse (R.N.) is a national certification, not a Wyoming license. How a Wyoming court weighs it is decided case by case under the forum's expert rules; this page covers the credential's scope, the Wyoming venues where a plan is examined, and our planners who hold it and serve Wyoming.
Registered nurse licensure authorizes the practice of professional nursing. In life care planning, the RN is a qualifying clinical credential for both CLCP and CNLCP certification and grounds the plan in direct knowledge of skilled nursing care, medication administration, wound and skin care, supplies, and the daily routines that determine attendant care hours.
Wyoming civil claims are tried in the District Courts. Workers' compensation is provided through the state fund administered by the Department of Workforce Services, with contested claims heard by the Office of Administrative Hearings or the Medical Commission.
Outside the civil courts, the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services, Workers' Compensation Division is the forum where a plan is most often examined in Wyoming. KW Life Care Planning R.N.-credentialed experts apply nationally recognized standards while accounting for Wyoming's practice environment.
R.N.-credentialed experts provide testimony in Wyoming's courts, where expert qualification is determined case by case.
Highest court: Wyoming Supreme Court. Federal venues: D. Wyo..

Clinical familiarity with the hands-on care a condition requires: skilled nursing tasks, medication and supply quantities, equipment use, and the practical hours of attendant care a person needs at each level of function.
Certification is not legally required, but the CLCP or CNLCP documents specific training and examination in life care planning methodology and is widely expected in litigation.
The nurse planner testifies to the needs documented in the plan and their cost. Opinions that a specific treatment is medically necessary or causally related come from the treating or examining physician.
