California Department of Consumer Affairs Director Kimberly Kirchmeyer announced the emergency waiver Friday night, saying the state expects the change will help 9,000 nursing students meet their clinical training requirements. Nursing schools had for weeks pleaded with state officials to reduce the number of hours their students are required to train in hospitals after many clinical rotations were canceled as a result of the coronavirus outbreak.
