Celebrating 50 years of educating future nurses at CSUB

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — For 50 years, the nursing program at Cal State Bakersfield has sent hundreds, if not thousands, of trained nurses into the world to care for the sick and injured.

CSUB plans to commemorate the anniversary with a fundraiser to support the program and welcome back former students. The fundraiser takes place on April 27, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., in the Doré Theatre on the CSUB campus.
