Cowboy State Daily<\/a> | April 26, 2026<\/p>\n

Wyoming nurse Ashley Myers escaped hardship into a high-paying nursing career. Her success story highlights rapid wage growth in the health care sector. “AI is a great tool, but it will never replace us. We have to have people to do this work,” she says.<\/h4>\n

CHEYENNE \u2014 For years, Ashley Myers juggled low-wage jobs and single motherhood, barely making ends meet.<\/p>\n

Today, she\u2019s a highly specialized nurse working in a Cheyenne\u00a0electrophysiology lab on a path to prosperity she couldn\u2019t even have imagined when she started training to become a certified nursing assistant.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe opportunities are endless with nursing,\u201d she told Cowboy State Daily. \u201cAnd that\u2019s a great thing. I think that\u2019s what\u2019s appealing to a lot of people going into nursing.<\/p>\n

“You could work in a school setting you could work in a rehab setting. And you can work in a lot of specialties.\u201d<\/p>\n

The electrophysiology (EP) lab where Myers works is just one of several high-dollar specialties in nursing. It\u2019s where the electrical systems of the heart are monitored in real-time, helping doctors diagnose and treat heart rhythm disorders.<\/p>\n

\u201cEP is highly specialized and AI is never going to take that away,\u201d Myers added.\u00a0\u201cThere\u2019s just no way. It\u2019s not going to happen. So that\u2019s what\u2019s appealing with nursing and even the health care field. You\u2019re just going to have so many opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Myers is part of a growing wave of Americans, many of them women, who have found a surefire ticket into high-paying jobs in a sector that has lots of opportunities to scale and grow in different directions.<\/p>\n

Salaries, meanwhile, have grown by leaps and bounds, Myers said. She is seeing starting salaries that are now $20 per hour higher than when she started.<\/p>\n

Median wages for registered nurses are around $94,000 in the United States, according to the U.S. Labor Department. That compares to $49,500 for all occupations.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

Nurse practitioners and those with advanced degrees have median wages around $132,000, according to Labor Department statistics.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI can\u2019t speak for the rest of the country, but our hospital, during COVID and like toward the end of COVID, they did a nurse retention bonus to try to keep the nurses, because everyone was trying to go travel (nursing) and stuff,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cPretty much all the nurses got a retention bonus.\u201d Myers said her retention bonus was $10 an hour on top of an already attractive salary.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Training Crunch Underscores Trend<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Salaries appear poised to keep rising, too, thanks to the demographics the sector faces.<\/p>\n

Not only are aging Baby Boomers swelling the patient load for hospitals and clinics, but many of them are also walking out of the doors of those same clinics and hospitals as retiring nurses.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, limited training slots mean it\u2019s difficult for the sector to address acute shortages or rising demand quickly.<\/p>\n

The Bureau of Labor Statistics is forecasting 40% growth in demand for advanced-degree nurses from 2024 to 2034. That compares to a baseline of 3% growth rate across all occupations.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, registered nurse employment is only projected to rise 5%, which exposes a considerable gap between capacity and demand.<\/p>\n

That has people like Myers seeing their profession as essentially recession proof.<\/p>\n

Nursing schools across the country and in Wyoming, meanwhile, are routinely turning away qualified applicants because they lack capacity for more students.<\/p>\n

Sherrill Smith, dean of the Fay W. Whitney School of Nursing at the University of Wyoming, told Cowboy State Daily her program can admit roughly 60 new students per year, while 120 to 200 students want to be in the program at any given time.<\/p>\n

Some of those individuals aren\u2019t qualified, Smith said, but many are, and have to find alternate pathways into the profession, or switch to a different sector.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

The biggest limiting factor is that students must be placed in a clinical setting, Smith said, and there\u2019s only so many of those available in a state like Wyoming, where cows outnumber people.<\/p>\n

But she also has to maintain a ratio of one instructor for every eight students, which is another huge limiting factor, particularly right now.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur faculty have to have a master\u2019s degree to teach,\u201d Smith said. \u201cSo one of the reasons they are leaving is because the new grads coming out with a bachelor\u2019s degree are making more than our faculty are.\u201d<\/p>\n

Federal legislation is being considered to try to close that pay gap, something Smith believes is particularly crucial for states like Wyoming.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe faculty shortage is most severe in the West,\u201d she said. \u201cI think it\u2019s because we\u2019re more sparsely populated. We just don\u2019t have as many people.\u201d<\/p>\n

AI Proof, Too<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Behind Myers’ personal success story is yet another success story for Wyoming.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because Myers is a graduate of Climb Wyoming, a program that has worked with more than 12,000 moms over the past 40 years, placing them in lucrative careers that enable them to support their families.<\/p>\n

Health care is one of several career choices selected because it will be lucrative long-term, Climb Wyoming Executive Director Katie Hogarty told Cowboy State Daily.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that those careers offer, just like Ashley was saying, a really strong career ladder,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd those entry-level certified nursing assistant jobs can lead to specialty degrees and highly trained nurses. The sky\u2019s the limit, we feel like, through the CNA training.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since inception, Hogarty estimates Climb has saved Wyoming $138 million in reduced benefits that would have been paid out, by placing single mothers in lucrative fields with long-term prospects, so they can support themselves and their children.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, we\u2019re really focused on health care jobs,\u201d Hogarty said. \u201cAlso trades. We\u2019re really focused on skilled trades and truck driving trainings. Those are jobs that won\u2019t be taken by AI and will really support the workforce needs in Wyoming right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Climb Wyoming has been integrating AI training into its program, Hogarty added.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know it\u2019s going to be part of all sorts of fields,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd we want to help equip moms with the skills they need to be successful in the long-term, in jobs that will be able to withstand this transformation we\u2019re experiencing now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Myers, meanwhile, is excited about the transformation she believes will be on the horizon with AI tools in the electrophysiology lab where she works.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s giving us better imaging tools so we can predict things better,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019ve been reading a lot about the AI tools that are coming up, and the imaging quality is just a lot better. So that\u2019s exciting for us, because it\u2019s a great tool, but it will definitely never replace us. We have to have people to do this work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other States Recruiting Wyoming Nurses<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In Wyoming and beyond, nursing is poised to remain one of America\u2019s most promising paths to prosperity. It\u2019s a profession shielded from automation, buoyed by inexorable demographic trends, and rich with opportunities for specialization and advancement.<\/p>\n

Whether the nation can fully capitalize on the potential for this transformative career, however, will depend on whether enough training doors can be opened into the profession, to meet not only the existing shortage, but the even greater needs just ahead as more Boomers retire.<\/p>\n

If education capacity remains capped by lack of clinical settings, while demand for nursing care stays high, shortages will continue and salaries will spike, contributing to escalating medical care costs.<\/p>\n

The problem will be particularly in the Mountain West, where the profession is already facing substantial shortages.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery hospital in the state is waiting for nurses,\u201d Smith said, adding that Wyoming has applied for funding to help support nursing workforce, behavioral health workforce, and EMTs, three areas where the state is particularly short.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we see a continuing population of older people and older people with chronic health conditions, the number of nurses is going to continue to be important,\u201d Smith said, adding that it\u2019s a career field with good pay scales, where getting a job at the end of training isn\u2019t problematic.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are getting flyers sent to us from across the country to post for students about open positions for nurses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those positions often come with signing bonuses and other perks.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just one more reason Smith believes Wyoming\u2019s training crunch for nurses isn\u2019t going away any time soon.<\/p>\n
