Exhibit 99.1
 
MedCAREERS GROUP, Inc. Provides Updates Regarding
Recent Funding, Recent Events and Plans Moving Forward

Dallas, Texas – April 1, 2013 – MedCAREERS GROUP, Inc. (“MCGI” or the “Company”)(OTC:MCGI.PK), a development stage company,  today provided an update regarding recent funding activities related to the Company, the Company’s operations and the Company’s plans moving forward.

In January 2013 an existing shareholder of the Company subscribed for 2,000,000 units, each consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.12 per share and a term of five years, for an aggregate of $200,000 or $0.10 per unit.  The warrant is redeemable if at any time following July 1, 2013 the closing price for the Company’s common stock is greater than or equal to $0.40 per share (as adjusted for any recapitalization) for a period of twenty (20) consecutive trading days for a redemption price of $0.001 per warrant share.

With the proceeds from the sale of the units, the Company began the upgrade of www.nurseslounge.com, a professional network for nurses, operated by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Nurses Lounge, Inc. (“Nurses Lounge”). The upgrades, being completed primarily by the Company’s service provider Oracle, include an updated navigation bar in the style similar to LinkedIn and Facebook, as well as various other cosmetic changes. The upgrade also moves the network to a newer platform that will allow greater analytics and marketing segmentation capabilities of membership.

Additionally, the upgrade will create a single sign-in within the nursing job board and specialty job site for nursing faculty. When complete, non-network member nurses will still be able to search and see detailed job postings but will need to be a network member in order to apply for jobs. Management believes this will greatly increase network membership at no additional cost.

With this up-grade complete, Nurses Lounge plans to look to build an independent regional marketing team to expand network membership among schools, associations and employers and build revenue.

Nurses Lounge also announced they will be exhibiting at the National Students Nurse Association Conference in Charlotte, NC April 4th-6th as well as the American Association of Colleges of Nursing 2013 Hot Issues Conference in St Louis, MO on April 11th and 12th. The NSNA Conference is expected to draw over 3,500 students, faculty and RNs and the Hot Issues Conference is planned to be attended by over 200 nursing school deans, directors, associate deans and faculty from across the country.

Moving forward, the Company plans to use the funds raised as described above to take steps to complete and file its deficient filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to become current in its filings and obtain the quotation of its common stock on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board or OTCQB.
