(Sept. 27, 2024) – This week, the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services clarified time limits for classroom time versus clinical time in Certified Nurse Assistant programs.
KDADS has concluded that classroom time for a CNA course should not exceed eight hours per day and not exceed 9:00 p.m., with breaks and lunch excluded. KDADS also concluded that Part II clinical times for CNA programs should not exceed 12 hours per day, with breaks and lunch excluded, and not exceed 9:00 p.m.
KDADS reminds CNA programs to contact the Kansas Department of Labor when teaching students under 18 years of age to ensure compliance with the state's child labor laws.
