Continental Nurses Awarded Certification from the Joint Commission
Continental Nurses was recently awarded the prestigious Gold Seal of Approval™ for health care staffing services from The Joint Commission. The Joint Commission’s certification program offers an independent comprehensive evaluation of a staffing firm's abilities to provide competent staffing services. The ongoing shortages of nurses and other health care professionals have forced health care organizations to increasingly fill positions with temporary workers through contractual arrangements with staffing firms like Continental Nurses.

Continental Nurses, a national travel nursing agency that provides supplemental staffing of healthcare professionals to hospitals throughout the United States, has recently relocated its corporate headquarters to North Carolina from Pennsylvania. The Company has established an excellent reputation in providing high quality nursing services in many diverse geographic areas. Continental Nurses has several branch operations throughout the United States, including primary operations in New York and California operating under the names of New York Travel Nurses and California Travel Nurses respectively.

In addition to providing health care staffing, Continental Nurses is now providing vendor management services as part of a comprehensive solution to its healthcare clients. Caroline Parker played an integral part in Continental Nurses' preparation for the JCAHO certification. Caroline states, "Continental Nurses' recent focus of providing a web based system (Web SSP) to capture and report on the employment attributes of all the nurses provides our clients with a real time look at the credentials and impending expirations of the nurse's complete personnel file of over 40 line items. Continental Nurses' Web SSP is an unique industry concept that has received high praise from not only our customers, but now from JCAHO. Certification from JCAHO, coupled with increased focus on our Web SSP, will be key in having Continental Nurses meet our aggressive marketing goals for growth in 2008 and beyond."
