             Medical Staffing Network Holdings Announces
       Adamson's Intention to Retire as Chief Executive Officer

    BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 8, 2004--Medical Staffing
Network Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:MRN) today announced that its Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer Robert J. Adamson has indicated his
intention to retire from his current role of Chief Executive Officer,
but will continue to serve as Executive Chairman of the Company's
Board of Directors. The Company's Board of Directors has formed an
Executive Committee, consisting of Directors David J. Wenstrup and
Scott Hilinski, which, working with Mr. Adamson, will implement a
succession plan to the CEO position. Mr. Adamson will continue to
serve as CEO until the plan is implemented, which the Company expects
to occur during 2004.
    Mr. Adamson is a co-founder of the Company, and, under his
management, Medical Staffing Network Holdings has become one of the
country's leading providers of temporary healthcare professionals. Mr.
Adamson commented, "Leading Medical Staffing Network Holdings from its
humble origins of being a very small company with very large ambitions
and turning those ambitions into a reality over the past six years has
been an exhilarating experience. During my tenure as CEO, I have
enjoyed leading a talented management team that achieved remarkable
performance in creating a company with revenues exceeding $500
million. The Company has developed a solid reputation as a provider of
high quality temporary healthcare staffing services on a national
scale and successfully diversified its range of services beyond its
core nurse per diem business. Medical Staffing Network Holdings has
gained significant market share and is well positioned to take
advantage of the expected long-term increase in demand for the
services that it provides. I am very confident in the Company and its
future and I look forward to working with the Board in completing a
smooth and orderly transition for the office of the Chief Executive
Officer.
    "This is the right time for me personally to step back from the
CEO role. As CEO, I am not capable of devoting anything less than 100%
of my energies. I am looking forward to the Executive Chairman role,
which will allow me to continue to contribute to the strategy and
direction of Medical Staffing Network Holdings, while reducing my
overall time commitment."
    Mr. Wenstrup, Director of Medical Staffing Network Holdings,
stated, "Robert has done a great job leading this company. He led
Medical Staffing Network Holdings through five years of incredible
growth, and has stabilized the Company during the current market
weakness. Importantly, he has also built a terrific team around him
and the strength and breadth of that team will make this transition
much easier. I look forward to continuing to work with Robert and the
team during and after the transition, and I remain excited about the
long-term prospects for growth at Medical Staffing Network Holdings."
