Lancaster, PA - A major milestone for travel nurses will be achieved September 13-14, 2008 in Las Vegas when the Travel Medical Professionals Convention becomes the first ever national meeting of travel nurses and therapists. Recognizing the significance of this event, Travel Nurse Source, a leading provider of recruitment and marketing services for top travel nurse agencies nationwide, has agreed to attend, exhibit and aggressively support this important gathering.
