Would these circumstances qualify someone for unemployment?

Woman is finishing up grad school to become a Nurse Practitioner right now (4 years RN experience in the ICU).
Like many medical field related grad schools her program requires clinical hours (basically shadowing a doctor or NP to learn how to actually deal with patients outside of a text book).
She is set to graduate in August and begins her 2 clinical rotations this coming week.
She is still employed in the ICU working 2-3 days a week.
Now, rewind to this past Monday and she was told by one of her clinical sites (pediatric, which was nearly impossible to find and an hour away) that she can’t come because she is too high risk to their clinic actively working in the ICU.
So she was forced to decide between the two options.
1. She keep her job, bail on the clinical site and not graduate for at least 1 more semester as she would have to find a pediatric site for the fall.
2. She quit her job immediately as they agreed that if she did quit she could come to the clinic as scheduled.
She decided for #2 and she put in her notice this week.
She would have been leaving this hospital in July/August once she graduated anyway to pursue her new career as an NP, this just accelerated that by a couple months.
I don’t think she would qualify for unemployment under normal circumstances, but current times are anything but normal circumstances.
TLDR: nurse was told to quit her job and graduate grad school or keep her job and delay graduation by at least 1 semester. She chose to quit so she can graduate. Can she get unemployment?

Quit a job = no. However with the CARES Act there were all kinds of new rules added for unemployment I believe. If you’re at high risk and needed to quit, I think you can qualify.

File for it and make hospital turn her down.

From my dealings with some, I have seen those previously disqualified be able to get federal but not the state part. Believe this is strictly a money play to try and swing votes in the fall
