At the beginning of 2003 in Dallas, Timothy Armes, the founder and CEO of leading job board Jobs.com, took over the nursing internet portal and nursing job board NursesLounge.com. In 2009, www.nurseslounge.com was re-launched as the first Professional Network for Nurses and designed to provide organizations such as schools, associations and employers a more efficient way to communicate important information to nursing professionals such as news, meetings and CEs on a timely basis.
The mission of Nurses Lounge is to aggregate the nursing profession in a modern online communications network thereby dramatically improving the ability for nurses to stay professionally informed and connected to the organizations and colleagues that matter to their careers.
To accomplish this mission, Nurses Lounge designed and developed a modern, simple to use professional networking platform created to facilitate career development, education, nursing staff management and professional best practices.
Nursing schools, associations, hospitals/clinics and related industry organizations can create a branded interactive "Lounge" as an adjunct to their core websites. This allows the instant distribution of information to their students/employees/members with a few clicks. They can also post ads ranging from banners to job listings.
Individual members (nurses and nursing students) create a professional profile page, receive, share and interact with nursing-related news and connect with colleagues and organizations important to their careers.
The Network evolved from Nurses Lounge Magazine, a localized direct mail publication which was published from 2003 - 2011.
Today there are more than three million nurses in the U.S. and Canada, and thousands of hospitals/medical clinics, nursing schools and nursing associations that can benefit as members of the Nurses Lounge. As of November 2013, NursesLounge.com has relationships with more than 150 nursing schools, associations and employers, and more than 12,000 individual members.

Steve Howard, the Director of Sales and Marketing for DigitalOne Reports providing a unique set of low cost and easy to implement tools to connect radiology with the referring physician for delivering results and images, receiving orders and minimizing internal IT cost joins eHealth Radio and the Health Care and Technology Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Steve Howard discuss the following:I understand DigitalOne has been in radiology for a long time. Can you tell the audience a little about DigitalOne?You mentioned connectivity and your company tag line is “Connectivity is Opportunity”, what does that mean for your prospective clients?What are the challenges your clients face that DigitalOne addresses?You had mentioned to me your company engages in significant conversations with imaging centers every day. Is there one thing that is common in all of your discussions?What does a typical client look like for DigitalOne?
Tip: Imaging centers need to realize that healthcare reform is here to stay and the impact of electronic medical records on their business will continue. In addition, RIS/PACS systems will not be the “holy grail” of an IT solution that meets all of their needs. However, the opportunity is now. Take advantage of the ways in which they can secure existing referrals as well as grow new referral sources with low cost incremental steps that generate long-term ROI. Reimbursements are not the only element of their business under siege; a combination of cost cutting defensive measures combined with protecting as well as increasing referrals only makes sense.
Duration: 10:13
