Nursefinders Announces Sponsorship of Leading Online Nursing Community NurseTogether. com
Incentives Poised to Help Hospitals, Nurses as Recession Eases on Healthcare Industry.
Arlington, TX (PRWEB) September 16, 2009
With signs of an easing recession for U. S. hospitals, according to a Thompson Reuters study indicating a recent rise of 2.9 percent in median profit margins, facilities may soon again be focused on the acute shortage of nurses. At the same time, the nursing profession struggles with fewer people entering the field due to nurse dissatisfaction. In an effort to help both constituents with their respective recruiting and career challenges, Nursefinders today announced its sponsorship of NurseTogether. com, one of the world's largest free online communities for nurses.
Through its sponsorship of NurseTogether. com, Nursefinders has secured exclusive discounts for its client hospitals on recruitment advertising geared at filling their own permanent staff positions, as well as special incentives on per diem and travel services from Nursefinders and its sister divisions. The sponsorship also provides Nursefinders' caregivers with specially negotiated discounts, unmatched original content, interactive career tools and social networking through NurseTogether. com.
"Our goal at Nursefinders, is always to help our healthcare facility clients succeed and to support our nurses in building a better work life," said Bob Livonius, CEO of Nursefinders. "We are extremely impressed with the usefulness of the site's daily refreshed content that addresses both the personal and professional demands of a nurse's life. Healthcare professionals and hospitals alike will benefit from being a part of this unique community, dedicated to empowering nurses globally."
More than 60,000 confirmed nursing professionals registered on the site spend an average of 15 minutes on NurseTogether. com each visit, which is five times longer than any other online nursing community.
Randy Holloran, Founder and Chief Operating Officer of NurseTogether. com, commented, "NurseTogether. com was established based on the understanding that becoming a nurse transforms your entire life. We've developed a single, easy-to-use web site that embraces the entire lifestyle of a nurse, with ideas, tools and advice crafted by approachable experts from across the nursing field to help members stay positive about their career and life. We believe our success is reflected in our high rates of repeated and lengthy visits to the site."

S. and the world.
