Saving Lives program to reach out to the media
Copies of Saving Lives have been donated to the following media makers in an attempt to educate them about the value of nursing. These media makers in turn influence the public about nursing and we hope at least some of them will learn something about nursing, to help end many decades of negative portrayals of nursing.
This program was funded by our members, who for every $40 donation to The Truth About Nursing, donated one copy to the media and received another copy.
