              Cites Continuing Weak Economic Conditions
                 and Difficult Operating Environment


    BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 15, 2003--Medical
Staffing Network Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: MRN), a leading healthcare
staffing company and the largest provider of per diem nurse staffing
services in the nation, today retracted its previously issued earnings
guidance for 2003. The Company now expects to generate revenues of
$120 to $124 million for the third quarter of 2003. The Company does
not anticipate its operating performance in the third quarter of 2003
to result in a net loss.

officer, stated, "Weak general economic conditions, together with a
protracted difficult operating environment within the healthcare
industry as a whole, which has continued beyond our earlier
expectations, have combined to lessen demand for our services. While
we are confident in the long-term dynamics of the healthcare staffing
industry, as a result of the current market conditions, we are
retracting our previously issued earnings guidance for 2003."
