I don't know anything about the stimulus checks mine didn't get them. They did get some parking fees returned and that was about it.
But my daughter missed some last semester senior clinicals, too. (Actually she had gotten 72 hours in before they were cancelled.) The school, however, did a nice job with video learning. Being in the same field, I watched some of the lessons and was suitably impressed with how they did them. (Typical patient situations in which you had to choose right answer before moving forward with lessons, with "instructed learning" feedback just like one would typically have in a clinical setting; varied subjects and number to do based on how many clinical hours already done. And they tacked on a lot of other work, too, that took the place of what they woudl've learned in post-conferences, I'd say.) Don't forget they've had lots of clinical experience prior to this one semester, too (may be different in grad school, idk), and many have already been working in their fields which is even better for learning, IMO.
DD is working in a hospital and will transition jobs, has already applied. DS is also a senior and working in his field, a job he's had for over a year now. He still has an internship to do which has been delayed, but I don't think it will change much when he graduates. Oftentimes networking with people you know yields the best results (then proving yourself on the job for staying power). Have yours get word out to everyone he or she can that they are looking, send our notes and resumes to potential employers, etc. (I was helping a nephew last year put out feelers for internships in his field and was sort of surprised how willing people were to help once asked.) Some might depend on the area but hopefully things should be starting to look up soon. Good luck.
