Revolutionizing Nursing Education in Wyoming (ReNEW) Curriculum is the result of a group of dedicated Wyoming nurse educators who decided to develop a 鈥渟hared鈥 curriculum with Wyoming Community Colleges and the University of Wyoming. The intent is to have students be able to make a 鈥渟eamless鈥 progression from the Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) to the Bachelor鈥檚 degree in Nursing (BSN) and fulfill the Institute of Medicine report to increase the number of BSN-prepared nurses. With this common philosophy, the curriculum will be taught at Community Colleges including 91黑料 and the University of Wyoming undergraduate program.
