What to know in Kansas
- The acceptance is in statute, K.S.A. 65-1119, and carried into the Board's rules.
- A Kansas contact hour is 50 minutes.
- The certificate must show the provider's approval number, the date, the hours and your Kansas license number.
Before you buy anything
What we will not tell you
We will not tell you that a course satisfies your Kansas requirement. Your board decides that, and an audit lands on your license, not on us.
What we can do is show you the rule, quoted or cited, and linked, and tell you plainly where our courses stand. Each of our RN & LPN course pages states the continuing-education approval that course carries, and that statement applies only to the course it appears on.
If anything here is unclear for your situation, ask your board before you enroll. Keep every certificate and the course description; the description is what shows an auditor what the course covered.
Read the rule yourself
When we read it
We read the rule on 29 September 2026. Rules change; the board’s current text governs.
