Start with these state-specific findings, then use the checklist below to review the rest of your practice. The linked authorities explain the conditions and exceptions behind each point.
Wyoming describes independent APRN practice
The Nursing Board explains that APRNs practice independently within their licensed role and population focus, without a general physician supervision or collaboration agreement requirement. That does not make every cosmetic procedure part of every APRN’s scope.

The Board lists an Aesthetic Procedures–Medical Spas opinion alongside delegation and APRN scope resources. It explains that advisory opinions are official interpretations rather than statutes and may be revised or retired.

- Review the current aesthetic opinion and match the proposed services to the APRN’s role, population focus and preparation.
- For RN/LPN services, separately document the orders, competency and supervision required for that role.
Questions to resolve before opening
- Does this APRN’s education, certification and population focus support the proposed aesthetic service?
- What does the current aesthetic advisory require for the other nursing roles employed at the practice?
