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.
