Graduates of Bakersfield College's nursing program last spring finished their program in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many completed their clinical hours as they were called into local hospitals to help with the surge in COVID-19 cases. But until now, they hadn't been formally celebrated as graduates of the college's rigorous RN program. 

This Saturday, BC will recognize more than 60 nursing graduates in the 105th Renegade Nursing Pinning. Because the pandemic hasn't yet faded away it will be held remotely over the college's YouTube channel, which will be open to the public.
