“I’m especially thrilled to be in on the development of Nurses Lounge.” says David. “We provide nurses, hospitals and universities with the online platform to seamlessly communicate on a professional level as well as allow organizations to control their own content.”
Mr. Reichert is currently publisher of the Reno-Tahoe-Carson City edition of MD News, a B2B custom publishing magazine for physicians. He has more than 35 years experience in marketing and advertising.
With Mr. Reichert in place as regional publisher, development of the Nurses Lounge network with universities, hospitals and nurses is expected to be rapid with a large increase of activity and influx of Nevada/Utah nursing professionals to its membership.
Mr. Reichert will be based out of Reno, Nevada. David is among the first group of independent publishers to be hired by Nurses Lounge and will be helping Nurses Lounge’s expansion throughout the United States from its origins in the Texas market where Nurses Lounge was launched 2 years ago.
History of Nurses Lounge
Nurses Lounge (www.nurseslounge.com), a wholly owned subsidiary of MedCareers Group, Inc., grew out of a nine-year-old nursing publication and web portal. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, Nurses Lounge began operations in Atlanta, Georgia, as a Nurse web portal in the 1990's. Timothy Armes, founder of Jobs.com, acquired the portal site in 2002 and moved the operation to Dallas where Armes also launched a successful direct mail companion magazine reporting on the local nursing profession. The website has been enhanced to become a more social-oriented network for nurses. It was re-launched in mid-2009 as a professional network for nurses and designed as a more efficient way for nurse organizations to communicate not only to their members but to the nursing profession at large.
