Great article about Bakersfield Memorial Hospital and Kern Medical and how their partnership with Bakersfield College's nursing program led to students getting much-needed clinical hours during the pandemic. "One class of nurses that doesn't graduate on time could create a bottleneck for years that would make it difficult for them to hire nurses down the line," said Toni Smith, Chief Nursing Officer at Kern Medical. https://www.bakersfield.com//article_69b93d1a-206e-11eb-a3
