FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AMN HEALTHCARE REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND

YEAR END 2007 RESULTS; PROVIDES FULL YEAR 2008 GUIDANCE

SAN DIEGO – (February 26, 2008) – AMN Healthcare Services, Inc. (NYSE: AHS), the nation’s largest healthcare staffing company, today reported revenue for the fourth quarter of 2007 of $285.9 million. This represents an increase of 0.8% from the $283.5 million reported for the same quarter last year, and a 4.8% decline from the $300.3 million in revenue reported in the third quarter. The sequential decline in revenue was due in part to the typical fourth quarter seasonality of fewer clinicians working over the holidays. Diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2007 were $0.26, a decrease of $0.03 compared to last year and last quarter. Fourth quarter 2006 diluted earnings per share included a benefit equating to $0.05 due to favorable actuarial adjustments to the professional liability insurance reserve.

Revenue for the full year 2007 was an industry record $1.16 billion, an increase of 7.6% from the $1.08 billion reported for 2006. While the company was able to produce operating efficiencies throughout the year, these were partially offset by direct cost pressures and lower demand levels in the nurse staffing business that caused diluted earnings per share to grow at a slower rate of 2.9% to $1.05.

“During the fourth quarter we continued to see the benefit of the diversified service strategy we have been implementing over the past three years. While economic and market conditions have impacted our nurse staffing business recently, our locum tenens staffing segment continued to experience strong year-over-year growth. We also saw the sustained benefit of initiatives implemented earlier in the year to improve gross margins and drive efficiencies across

all business segments,” said Susan R. Nowakowski, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In 2007, we continued to take steps towards expanding our service offerings by launching new clinical disciplines, selling into new client markets, and completing new acquisitions to further diversify AMN in high-growth, high-margin market niches within the industry. These are small, but important, seeds for us to plant for stronger future growth opportunities.”

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $76.0 million, representing a 26.6% gross margin, as compared to $74.3 million, or a 26.2% gross margin, for the fourth quarter of 2006 and $79.7 million, or a 26.6% gross margin, for the third quarter of 2007. The 40 basis points improvement over the prior year was due primarily to an improved pay-to-bill spread in the nurse and allied staffing segment, while gross margin remained relatively stable compared to last quarter. Gross margins by business segment for the fourth quarter of 2007 were 24.4% for nurse and allied healthcare staffing, 26.1% for locum tenens staffing and 61.8% for physician permanent placement services. Consolidated gross margin for the full year 2007 was 26.0% as compared to 26.7% for 2006, a decline caused primarily by higher housing and healthcare insurance expense in the nurse and allied staffing segment.

Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the fourth quarter of 2007 were $55.9 million, or 19.6% of revenue, as compared to $51.2 million, or 18.1% of revenue, for the fourth quarter of 2006 and $55.8 million, or 18.6% of revenue, for the third quarter of 2007. SG&A in the current quarter also included restructuring costs of $0.7 million associated with the company’s O’Grady Peyton International nurse staffing division. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of revenue compared to the previous year was due primarily to a $2.9 million favorable adjustment to the professional liability insurance reserve recorded in the fourth quarter of 2006. SG&A for the full year 2007 was 18.7% as a percentage of revenue as compared to 19.0% for 2006.

Income from operations for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $16.8 million, or 5.9% of revenue, as compared to $20.4 million, or 7.2% of revenue, for the fourth quarter of 2006, and $21.0 million, or 7.0% of revenue, for the third quarter of 2007. The decrease in operating margin compared to the previous year was due mainly to the prior year including the previously noted $2.9 million favorable adjustment. Also contributing to the decrease in operating margin

compared to the previous year and previous quarter was the $0.7 million of OGP restructuring costs recorded this quarter. Operating margin for the full year 2007 was 6.3% of revenue, as compared to 6.8% for 2006.

Net interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $2.9 million, compared to $4.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2006 and $3.1 million for the third quarter of 2007. The decrease in net interest expense from the previous year and previous quarter reflected the continued reduction in outstanding debt.

The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2007 was 35.3% compared to 38.6% for the fourth quarter of 2006, with both quarters including adjustments required to finalize year-end federal and state tax provisions. The full year effective tax rate was 39.9%, which approximates the 40.2% rate we anticipate for 2008.

Strong cash flow continued with the company generating $25.3 million in cash flow from operations during the fourth quarter of 2007 and $79.6 for the full year 2007. Total debt outstanding at December 31, 2007 was $147.0 million, yielding a leverage ratio of 1.6. Weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the fourth quarter of 2007 were 34.2 million.

Additionally, on February 15, 2008, as previously announced, the company acquired substantially all of the assets of Platinum Select, L.P. (“Platinum Select”), one of the nation’s leading travel allied staffing firms. The purchase price of up to $50.3 million in cash consisted of an initial payment of $32.9 million and a potential additional earn-out payment based on Platinum Select’s 2008 financial performance. The company financed the acquisition using both cash on hand and its revolving credit facility. “This addition to the AMN Healthcare family provides an additional channel for helping our clients obtain the scarce and valuable talents of allied professionals, and firmly places the company as the #1 provider in the attractive travel allied healthcare staffing segment of the industry,” said Nowakowski.

Revenue and Earnings Guidance for First Quarter and Full Year 2008

Based on the current market conditions and an expectation for typical seasonal improvement in the demand and supply environment during the second half of the year, the

company expects revenue for the full year 2008 to grow 7% to 12% over 2007 and diluted earnings per share to grow at a faster rate of 11% to 16%. Management expects revenue for the first quarter of 2008 to range from $290 million to $293 million, and diluted earnings per share to range from $0.24 to $0.26. These guidance estimates include the company’s acquisition of Platinum Select which closed on February 15, 2008.

“Our 2008 guidance anticipates revenue and earnings growth in all of our segments. Our locum tenens staffing segment is expected to produce double digit growth and we expect that our physician permanent placement and allied staffing businesses will grow at faster rates than last year. Our outlook is tempered by caution that the level of growth in the demand environment for travel nurses continues to be at lower than optimal levels,” said Nowakowski. “We remain very focused on delivering superior quality and service to our clients every day and are confident that AMN has the right long-term market strategy and the right team in place to advance our leadership position within the fastest growing, most profitable segments of the healthcare staffing industry. With that said, we must continue to make changes and innovate to remain agile in this dynamic and increasingly competitive market. We are excited about several of the new services we will be launching throughout the year,” said Nowakowski.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA represents net income plus interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Management presents adjusted EBITDA because it believes that adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplement to net income as an indicator of operating performance. Management believes that adjusted EBITDA is an industry-wide financial measure that is useful both to management and investors when evaluating the company’s performance. Management also uses adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes. Management uses adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the company’s performance because it believes that adjusted EBITDA more accurately reflects the company’s results, as it excludes certain items, in particular non-cash stock-based compensation charges that management believes are not indicative of the company’s operating performance. However, adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows for the period, nor has it been presented as an alternative to operating or net income as an indicator of operating performance, and it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). As defined, adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. While management believes that some of the items excluded from adjusted EBITDA are not indicative of the company’s operating performance, these items do impact the income statement, and management therefore utilizes adjusted EBITDA as an operating performance measure in conjunction with GAAP measures such as net income.

(2) Average travelers on assignment represents the average number of nurse and allied healthcare professionals on assignment during the period presented.

(3) Revenue per traveler per day and gross profit per traveler per day represent the revenue and gross profit of the company’s nurse and allied healthcare staffing segment divided by average travelers on assignment, divided by the number of days in the period presented.

(4) Days filled is calculated by dividing the locum tenens hours filled during the period by 8 hours. Revenue per day filled and gross profit per day filled represent revenue and gross profit of the company’s locum tenens staffing segment divided by days filled for the period presented.
