N ursesin the Spotlight
c o n t i n u e d f r o m front
Nursing, in which she shares
information with other nurses
about career development, edu­
cational resources, and attend­
ing to your home life once the
scrubs are off.
“I have a lot of non-nurse
subscribers [too] but they’re
usually like a mother figure, or
married to a nurse; it’s usually
someone who already thinks that
nurses are wonderful people. But
I realized that was preaching to
the same people,” she says.
With the show set to premier
on Wednesday, Dec. 4 at 8 p.m.,
Justice doesn’t just want nurses
watching, she wants the whole
public to tune in to set the record
straight on the important func­
tion of nurses.
“Nursing has evolved,” she
says “it’s been a long, long way
to where we are today and un­
fortunately general opinion on
the field has not caught up to
what nurses actually do.”
All of the funding for the show
has come from straight from her
pockets. An Indiegogo campaign
has been set up, however, for
those looking to help assist in the
show s production. Visit

$100 Million HIV Research Initiative
( AP)— President Barack Obama
announced a new initiative at the
National Institutes of Health in pur­
suit of a cure for HIV, saying his
administration is redirecting $100
million into the project to find a new
generation of therapies.
"The United States should be at
the forefront of new discoveries into
how to put HIV into long-term re­
mission without requiring lifelong
therapies, or better yet, eliminate it
completely," Obama said.
Obama made the announcement
Monday at a White House event
marking World AIDS Day, which
was Sunday — and as health lead­
ers and philanthropists gathered in
Washington to determine how to
replenish the major global health
fund that combats AIDS and two of
the world's other leading killers in
low-income countries.
Obama pledged that the U.S.
would contribute up to $5 billion
over the next three years to The
Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuber­
culosis and Malaria — as long as
other countries do their part and
contribute $10 billion. The U.S.
m atch es c o n trib u tio n s to the
Geneva-based Global Fund on a 1-
to-2 funding ratio sçt by Congress.
"Don't leave our money on the
table," Obama said Monday.
Also Monday, billionaire Bill
Gates said he planned to nearly
double his foundation’s contribu­
tion to this next round of the Global
Fund, to $500 million.
