CALIFORNIA
Reality show hopes to recruit nurses
LOS ANGELES -- An Internet-based reality show about nurses made its debut yesterday in a bid to improve the image of the profession and attract more nurses to California.
The show, "13 Weeks," started Webcasts on www.nursetv.com. It follows six nurses recruited from across the nation as they live in a rented $10 million mansion, go surfing and skydiving in their spare time and work in hospitals in Orange County.
The show was the brainchild of San Diego-based recruiting agency Access Nurses as part of efforts to resolve a desperate shortage of nurses as California gears up to implement a law that mandates one nurse for every five patients in most hospital wards.

Court upholds abortion law
INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indiana Supreme Court yesterday upheld a law that requires women seeking abortions to get counseling about medical risks and alternatives and to wait at least 18 hours after the session before having the procedure.
The court ruled 4-1 that opponents of the law could not pursue their lawsuit, which argued that privacy is a core right under the state constitution and extends to women seeking to end their pregnancies.
