Adoption of Decision Tree Model (1-2009)

In the January 2009 meeting, the Wyoming State Board of Nursing voted to adopt a Decision Tree Model for making practice decisions.  At that time many existing advisory opinions were rescinded, including:

• Advisory Opinion Number: 03-124: Propofol – RN
• Advisory Opinion Number: 06-163: Administration of Anesthetic Agents such as Propofol, Etomidate and Ketamine by RN’s for IV Conscious Sedation 

National professional nursing organizations (such as American Association of Critical Care Nurses, American Nurses Association, American Radiological Nurses Association, American Society for Pain Management Nursing, Emergency Nurses Association, National Association of Children's Hospitals, or American Association of Nurse Anesthetists) should be consulted for guidelines.
