subjects of its curriculum, including, without limitation, the subjects
required by regulation of the Board.
(b) Shall not use a licensed student
instructor as a student operator on the clinic floor where services are
provided to the public.
2. Each student in cosmetology, esthetics,
advanced esthetics, nail technology, electrology or hair designing shall wear a
badge with the word "student" inscribed on it. This badge must be worn at all
times when the student is in attendance at the school. The student may not work

hours for students in esthetics or electrology and 100 hours for students in
nail technology.
3. Except as

cosmetological establishment or at any other location and shall not give
demonstrations other than those required of them by the school of cosmetology
at the location of the school or while on a field trip supervised by the
instructors of the school.
4.
During a state of emergency or declaration of disaster proclaimed by the
Governor or by resolution of the Legislature pursuant to
NRS
414.070, the Board may, by affirmative vote,
authorize students to complete practical training at home. Such practical
training must be limited to practice on a mannequin.
5. No instructor in a licensed school of
cosmetology may, during the hours in which he or she is on duty as an
instructor, devote his or her time to the public or to the private practice of
cosmetology for compensation. Each instructor shall devote the instructor's
full time during the hours he or she is on duty as an instructor to instructing
students.
6. In each week, a school
of cosmetology shall provide students with a minimum of 5 hours of instruction
in theory per 40 hours of instruction. A student who fails to attend the

of hours required by subsection 2, complete practical
training.
