They come and go with less frequency now: empty trains across the country as this nation's public transit system finds itself in peril, with millions of Americans changing their commute routines because of COVID-19."Transit is definitely in trouble," said Jarred Johnson, who oversees the group Transit Matters.It's not the empty trains and buses that bother Johnson so much as the proposed cuts on the horizon, as ridership nationwide has plummeted.An estimated 36 million people across the country depended on public transit before the pandemic, but they just aren't riding right now, so revenues are down dramatically.In Washington D.C., the Metro is losing nearly 0 million a month; New York City's MTA is facing billion in potential cuts and San Francisco’s light rail is more than million in the hole. Public transit lines in nearly every major city across the country are facing financial uncertainty."It’s really time for our political leaders to step up and provide the funding transit needs," Johnson added.Another big concern is that if public transit services are cut now, they won't be there for riders when the pandemic is over. Used car sales are also booming with the average price of used vehicles up more than 9 percent, leading transit advocates to worry that some riders might be gone permanently."It’s not like people are choosing to not take transit on their trips, they’re not taking trips," explained Beth Osborne, with Transportation for America.Osborne's biggest fear is that if cities and states cut public services, people won't be able to get back to work on the other side of the pandemic."I think we have to ask ourselves: do we want our economy to function or not?" Osborne said. 1730

There's an acute nursing shortage in the United States, but schools are turning away thousands of qualified applicants as they struggle to expand class size and hire more teachers for nursing programs.In America, experienced nurses are retiring at a rapid clip, and there aren't enough new nursing graduates to replenish the workforce. At the same time, the nation's population is aging and requires more care."It's really a catch 22 situation," said Robert Rosseter, spokesman for the American Association of Colleges of Nursing."There's tremendous demand from hospitals and clinics to hire more nurses," he said. "There's tremendous demand from students who want to enter nursing programs, but schools are tapped out."There are currently about three million nurses in the United States. The country will need to produce more than one million new registered nurses by 2022 to fulfill its health care needs, according to the American Nurses Association estimates.That's a problem.In 2017, nursing schools turned away more than 56,000 qualified applicants from undergraduate nursing programs. Going back a decade, nursing schools have annually rejected around 30,000 applicants who met admissions requirements, according to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing."Some of these applicants graduated high school top of their class with a 3.5 GPA or higher," said Rosseter. "But the competition to get into a nursing school right now is so intense."Because of the lack of openings, nursing programs across the board -- in community colleges to undergraduate and graduate schools -- are rejecting students in droves.Erica Kay is making her third attempt to get into a nursing program offered in a community college near where she lives in southern California.Kay, 35, already is a certified surgical technician and a certified medical assistant."I've been working in health care since I was 21. This is my passion," she said. "I know I will be a great nurse and I'm studying very hard to get accepted into a program," she saidShe's taken the standardized admissions test for nursing schools twice and applied to three community colleges. She didn't get in."One school responded in a letter they had 343 applications and only accepted 60 students," she said. Another school had 60 slots for 262 applications."Some programs won't even consider you if you score less than 80% even if you meet all other criteria," she said. Kay is retaking the nearly four-hour-long test next month, hoping to better her score."It shocks and upsets me that there are so many hurdles to get into nursing school when we have a nursing shortage," said Kay. "But I am going to keep trying."Jane Kirschling, dean of the University of Maryland School of Nursing in Baltimore, said her school admits new students in the undergraduate program twice a year."We're averaging 200 applications each time for 55 slots," she said. "So we're turning away one student for every student we accept."She said the nursing profession has surged in popularity for a few reasons. "Nursing offers an entry-level living wage with which you can support a family," said Kirschling.There's built-in flexibility and mobility. "You can work three 12-hour shifts and get four days off," she said. And nurses aren't locked into a specific location, employer or specialty for the rest of their lives. "There's tremendous growth opportunity," said Kirschling.But Kirschling said increasing school class size to accommodate more students isn't easy or practical.For one thing, nursing schools are struggling to hire more qualified teachers. "The annual national faculty vacancy rate in nursing programs is over 7%. That's pretty high," said Rosseter. "It's about two teachers per nursing school or a shortage of 1,565 teachers."Better pay for working nurses is luring current and potential nurse educators away from teaching. The average salary of a nurse practitioner is ,000 compared to an average salary of ,575 for a nursing school assistant professor, according to the American Association of Nurse Practitioners.Mott Community College in Flint, Michigan, last year reduced its new admissions from 80 to 64 students accepted twice a year into its two-year associate degree in nursing program.The move was partly in response to a decision by the Michigan Board of Nursing to shrink the nursing student-to-faculty ratio for clinical training in hospitals and clinics. This was aimed at improving safety and avoiding crowded clinical settings."It changed from 10 students for one educator to 8 students. So we had to adjust our class size accordingly," said Rebecca Myszenski, dean of the division of Health Sciences at Mott Community College.Kirschling's school in Baltimore has made similar adjustments. "We used to send eight to 10 nursing students per instructor to hospitals for clinical rotations. Now it's six students," she said.Pediatrics, obstetrics and mental health are the areas where nursing students have the most unmet demand for clinical training," said Kirschling. "As we try to increase the number of nursing students, these three areas will be bottlenecks for nursing programs."Rosseter agrees that class size presents another challenge for nursing schools. "There's not enough available clinical space to train students," he said.Despite the constraints, nursing programs are thinking of ways to accommodate more students."We're expanding our program to new campuses, we're looking at new models of partnering with hospitals to allow [their] nursing staff to [be able] to teach," said Tara Hulsey, dean of West Virginia University's School of Nursing.For example, Anne Arundel Community College in Arnold, Maryland, offers an accelerated associate nursing program that allows qualified paramedics or veterans to be admitted straight into the second year of the two-year program.In Flint, Mott Community College has partnered with University of Michigan's accelerated 16-month undergraduate program designed for veterans with medical experience who want to transition into a nursing career."These bridge programs could really help with the [nursing] shortage," said Myszenski. "You have to address the nursing shortage by thinking out of the box."  6239

Thursday is World UFO Day.The holiday is a day for the UFO community to come together to celebrate their beliefs in extra-terrestrials, according WorldUFODay.com. The website says the day is also used to encourage governments to declassify their knowledge about sightings.People can recognize the day by watching UFO movies and chatting with friends about the possibility of alien life.“The most important thing is that people collectively open their minds to the subject for one day and send out the message mentally that UFOs are welcome on this earth,” the website says.One popular topic among UFO enthusiasts is Area 51, where conspiracy theorists believe the U.S. government stores and hides alien bodies and UFOs.The U.S. government's official name for Area 51 is the Nevada Test and Training Range, which is a unit of the Nellis Air Force Base. Today, it’s used as an open training range for the Air Force.Just a few months ago, the Pentagon actually declassified three previously leaked top-secret U.S. Navy videos in an effort “to clear up any misconceptions by the public on whether or not the footage that had been circulating was real or whether or not there is more to the videos,” Pentagon spokesperson Susan Gough said.Gough added that the “aerial phenomena” in the videos remains characterized as “unidentified.”The National UFO Reporting Center, which maintains statistics about global UFO sightings, says there were just over 3,700 reported sightings in 2018 and more than 6,800 in 2019. So far in 2020, nearly 4,700 UFO sightings have been reported.The center’s data shows an uptick in the amount of UFO sightings reported over the past 30 years.Happy #UFOday! The National UFO Reporting Center reports that sightings are on the rise with 3,700 in 2018 and 6,889 in 2019. There have been 4,688 so far in 2020 but still no clear pictures despite everyone carrying amazing cameras... #iwantobelieve https://t.co/CYBoiOsGcf pic.twitter.com/tKsMbIgm13— Statista (@StatistaCharts) July 2, 2020 CNN contributed to this report. 2047

Those in the United States on a student visa could be booted from the country this fall if they are not attending in-person classes, the US Immigration and Customers Enforcement agency announced Monday.At universities that are planning on going online only, students will need to transfer to a university with in-person classes or face being deported from the US. This also means at universities where students have the choice between online and in-person courses, they will need to mostly take in-person courses. This could be an issue for students considered at a high risk of developing complications from the coronavirus. Amid the coronavirus, most universities have stated plans to resume in the fall with in-person courses. But with cases surging around the country brings uncertainty on whether universities will be able to conduct in-person classes.On Monday, Harvard announced plans to hold online courses with limited in-person services. Harvard’s plan will allow for freshmen to live on campus while the rest of the university will mostly be kept away from Harvard.“Harvard was built for connection, not isolation. Without a vaccine or effective clinical treatments for the virus, we know that no choice that reopens the campus is without risk,” the president and deans wrote. “That said, we have worked closely with leading epidemiologists and medical experts to define an approach that we believe will protect the health and safety of our community, while also protecting our academic enterprise and providing students with the conditions they need to be successful academically.”Princeton also announced Monday that most of its courses will be held online. Princeton said it would work with international students who might not be allowed to enter the US due to visa restrictions.“For undergraduates living abroad who are unable to return to campus, there will be some limitations on which courses are available to students who are not in residence,” Princeton said in a press release. Acknowledging time zone and other limitations unique to those living overseas, faculty members and administrators will make every effort to ensure that students studying from abroad will be able to participate in the virtual curricular and co-curricular aspects of the Princeton experience.” 2299
