Our Story

2002
The Beginning

After the sale of Jobs.com to Monster.com, Tim Armes took over a nursing job board named NursesLounge.com. He then launched a direct mail magazine sent to 35,000 registered nurses in the Dallas-Fort Worth market. Supported by nurse recruitment advertising from local hospitals, the publication quickly expanded into Houston and Chicago.

2010
Launch of a Professional Network for Nurses

As online platforms matured, Nurses Lounge evolved beyond a job board model. The website was relaunched as a professional network for nurses, bringing together nurses and major stakeholder organizations, including schools, associations, and hospitals, on one platform. Print operations ended in 2011 as the digital network became the focus.

2020
New Technology and a Complete Rebuild

After years of operating through third-party platforms, the network was rebuilt as a fully proprietary platform. Development began shortly after the pandemic, and the rebuilt network relaunched in March 2022. Within the first year, more than 180 BSN nursing schools joined the platform, with more continuing to participate.

2026
Expansion of Nurse FLEX Pool

Nurses Lounge expanded its platform with the launch of Nurse FLEX Pool, an on-demand staffing model built around a flat monthly subscription. The goal is to give healthcare facilities a more sustainable alternative to high-cost staffing models while giving nurses more flexible work opportunities.
