Jeff Stoner knows travel nursing because he’s lived it. From working in the ICU at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington D.C., to responding to a devastating tornado in Joplin, Missouri, Jeff’s nursing experiences have inspired him to empower his fellow nurses to pursue the careers and lifestyles of their dreams while caring for others.
Inspired by his mother Karen, herself a 40-year nursing veteran, Jeff is passionate about guiding medical professionals in their pursuit of adventure, opportunity and service. Having graduated from Missouri Southern State University in 2012, Jeff worked as a travel nurse across the Midwest before launching Ethos Medical Staffing in 2015.
In his off-hours, Jeff enjoys camping, fishing, sporting events and traveling with his wife Lindsey, who is also a travel nurse. He will graduate with an Executive MBA from Rockhurst University in 2020.

What drives/motivates you in your career/position with Ethos
Working with a small business and the direct impact and value this has to the community. There is this sense of building something and creating something when you are working for entrepreneurial company like Ethos. Additionally, working in the healthcare space there is also this sense of helping both the nurses and hospitals. The biggest motivator for me is going to be helping Ethos with the explosive growth by providing financial guidance to Jeff. This is going to present unique challenges and opportunities in the coming years.
Hobbies/free time activities
I enjoy spending time and doing family activities with my wife and daughter.
