Time certainly flies when you're having fun. It is hard to believe but half of the year is gone already! We at NC STAFFING are excited about all the positive changes that have occurred these past few months in our company. Primary and secondary benefits from these changes are still unfolding. Since the year started, we opened our Memphis, TN branch, received our SBA 8(A) certification, and as this issue announces, celebrated Nurses' Week, launched a new website and received our Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contract. We have made a "leapfrog" indeed. Right now, we are busy making preparations for our third year anniversary. By the end of the year, we expect to establish the new branch in Houston, TX.

A separate special announcement concerning details and updates about the branch is forthcoming. Stay tuned for more news. We are bringing the "Leapfrog" spirit into the city of Houston, our open door to manifold opportunities awaiting us in the Lone Star state. NC STAFFING prides itself on being at the forefront of cutting-edge technology and it was in the light of this corporate philosophy that we launched our new website. As the related article below tells you, the new website is extremely useful for nurses, facilities, and for applicants who are interested in joining our Leapfrog Circle.

The website contains many useful features and resources. We are proud of our new website and we expect it to be a premier toolbox of resources for all of us. Do visit the new website and be sure to let us know your thoughts and comments about it. Our new web address is www.ncstaffing.com. On the other hand, the FSS contract means unlimited new opportunities for our nurses as NC STAFFING now counts itself a proud addition to the US General Services Administration (GSA) list of accredited vendors.

NC STAFFING is certainly in the middle of an exciting and challenging year. We remain tireless in bringing you more opportunities. And the good news is that the best is yet to come for 2004! Let's do another leap.
