Jersey City, New Jersey                                             $ 506,904.11

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned,  MEDICAL STAFFING SOLUTIONS, INC., a Nevada
corporation (the "Company"),  promises to pay CORNELL CAPITAL PARTNERS,  LP (the
"Holder") at 101 Hudson  Street,  Suite 3700,  Jersey City,  New Jersey 07302 or
other address as the Holder shall specify in writing,  the principal sum of Five
Hundred Six Thousand Nine Hundred Four (U.S.)  Dollars and 11/100  ($506,904.11)
and will be payable pursuant to the following terms:

WHEREAS, on April 26, 2005, the parties hereto entered into a Promissory Note in
the  principal  amount of  $500,000  (the  "Original  Note"),  pursuant to which
$500,000 of the  principal  has been paid to the Holder and $6,904.11 of accrued
interest has accrued.

WHEREAS,  this  Promissory  Note (this  "Note")  shall amend and  supersede  the
Original Note.

1.  Amount of Note.  The face  amount of this Note and  interest  at the rate of
twelve  percent  (12%) per annum  shall be  payable in full  within one  hundred
eighty-five  (185)  calendar  days of the date  hereof,  unless an  extension is
mutually agreed to by the parties in writing. Interest shall be payable upon the
due  date of  this  Note.  If this  Note is not  paid  in  full  when  due,  the
outstanding  principal owed hereunder  shall be due and payable in full together
with interest thereon at the rate of twenty-four  percent (24%) per annum or the
highest permitted by applicable law, if lower.

2. Waiver and  Consent.  To the fullest  extent  permitted  by law and except as
otherwise  provided  herein,  the Company waives demand,  presentment,  protest,
notice of dishonor,  suit against or joinder of any other person,  and all other
requirements necessary to charge or hold the Company liable with respect to this
Note.

3. Costs, Indemnities and Expenses. In the event of default as described herein,
the Company agrees to pay all  reasonable  fees and costs incurred by the Holder
in  collecting  or  securing  or  attempting  to  collect  or secure  this Note,
including  reasonable  attorneys'  fees and  expenses,  whether or not involving
litigation,  collecting  upon  any  judgments  and/or  appellate  or  bankruptcy
proceedings.  The Company agrees to pay any documentary stamp taxes,  intangible
taxes  or other  taxes  which  may now or  hereafter  apply to this  Note or any
payment made in respect of this Note  incurred by the  Company,  and the Company
agrees to indemnify and hold the Holder harmless from and against any liability,
costs,  attorneys' fees,  penalties,  interest or expenses  relating to any such
taxes, as and when the same may be incurred.

4. Event of Default.  Upon an Event of Default (as  defined  below),  the entire
principal  balance and accrued  interest  outstanding  under this Note,  and all
other  obligations of the Company under this Note,  shall be immediately due and
payable  without any action on the part of the Holder,  and the Holder  shall be
entitled to seek and institute  any and all remedies  available to it. No remedy
conferred  under this Note upon the Holder is  intended to be  exclusive  of any
other  remedy  available  to the  Holder,  pursuant to the terms of this Note or
otherwise.  No single or partial  exercise by the Holder of any right,  power or
remedy  hereunder  shall  preclude any other or further  exercise  thereof.  The
failure  of the  Holder  to  exercise  any right or  remedy  under  this Note or
otherwise,  or delay in exercising such right or remedy,  shall not operate as a
waiver thereof.  An "Event of Default" shall be deemed to have occurred upon the
occurrence of any of the  following:  (i) the Company should fail for any reason
or for no reason to make  payment  of the  outstanding  principal  balance  plus
accrued interest  pursuant to this Note within the time prescribed herein or the
Company  fails to satisfy any other  obligation  or  requirement  of the Company
under this Note; or (ii) any proceedings under any bankruptcy laws of the United
States  of  America  or under  any  insolvency,  not  disclosed  to the  Holder,
reorganization,  receivership, readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or
any  similar law or statute of any  jurisdiction  now or  hereinafter  in effect
(whether  in law or at equity) is filed by or against  the Company or for all or
any part of its property.

5. Maximum  Interest  Rate.  In no event shall any agreed to or actual  interest
charged,  reserved or taken by the Holder as consideration  for this Note exceed
the limits imposed by New Jersey law. In the event that the interest  provisions
of this Note shall result at any time or for any reason in an effective  rate of
interest  that exceeds the maximum  interest rate  permitted by applicable  law,
then without further agreement or notice the obligation to be fulfilled shall be
automatically  reduced  to such  limit and all sums  received  by the  Holder in
excess of those lawfully  collectible  as interest shall be applied  against the
principal of this Note immediately  upon the Holder's receipt thereof,  with the
same force and effect as though the Company  had  specifically  designated  such
extra  sums to be so applied  to  principal  and the Holder had agreed to accept
such extra payment(s) as a premium-free prepayment or prepayments.

6.  Cancellation  of  Note.  Upon the  repayment  by the  Company  of all of its
obligations  hereunder to the Holder,  including,  without limitation,  the face
amount  of this  Note,  plus  accrued  but  unpaid  interest,  the  indebtedness
evidenced hereby shall be deemed canceled and paid in full.  Except as otherwise
required  by law or by the  provisions  of this Note,  payments  received by the
Holder hereunder shall be applied first against  expenses and indemnities,  next
against  interest accrued on this Note, and next in reduction of the outstanding
principal balance of this Note.

7.  Severability.  If any provision of this Note is, for any reason,  invalid or
unenforceable,  the remaining provisions of this Note will nevertheless be valid
and enforceable and will remain in full force and effect.  Any provision of this
Note that is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent  jurisdiction
will be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable
and as so modified will remain in full force and effect.

8. Amendment and Waiver. This Note may be amended, or any provision of this Note
may be waived,  provided that any such  amendment or waiver will be binding on a
party hereto only if such amendment or waiver is set forth in a writing executed
by the parties  hereto.  The waiver by any such party  hereto of a breach of any
provision  of this Note  shall not  operate or be  construed  as a waiver of any
other breach.

9. Successors.  Except as otherwise  provided  herein,  this Note shall bind and
inure to the  benefit  of and be  enforceable  by the  parties  hereto and their
permitted successors and assigns.

10.  Assignment.  This Note shall not be directly or  indirectly  assignable  or
delegable  by the  Company.  The  Holder  may  assign  this Note as long as such
assignment complies with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

11. No Strict Construction.  The language used in this Note will be deemed to be
the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no
rule of strict construction will be applied against any party.

12.  Further  Assurances.  Each party hereto will execute all documents and take
such  other  actions  as the other  party  may  reasonably  request  in order to
consummate the  transactions  provided for herein and to accomplish the purposes
of this Note.

14. Remedies,  Other  Obligations,  Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The Holder's
remedies  provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other
remedies available to the Holder under this Note, at law or in equity (including
a decree of specific  performance and/or other injunctive  relief), no remedy of
the Holder  contained  herein  shall be deemed a waiver of  compliance  with the
provisions  giving  rise to such  remedy  and  nothing  herein  shall  limit the
Holder's right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply
with the terms of this Note.  Every  right and  remedy of the  Holder  under any
document executed in connection with this transaction may be exercised from time
to time and as often as may be  deemed  expedient  by the  Holder.  The  Company
acknowledges  that  a  breach  by it of its  obligations  hereunder  will  cause
irreparable  harm to the Holder  and that the remedy at law for any such  breach
may be inadequate.  The Company  therefore agrees that, in the event of any such
breach or threatened  breach,  the Holder shall be entitled,  in addition to all
other available remedies, to an injunction  restraining any breach, and specific
performance  without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond
or other security being required.

15.  Governing Law;  Jurisdiction.  All questions  concerning the  construction,
validity,  enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by
the  internal  laws of the State of New  Jersey,  without  giving  effect to any
choice of law or conflict of law  provision or rule (whether of the State of New
Jersey or any other  jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws
of any  jurisdictions  other than the State of New  Jersey.  Each  party  hereby
irrevocably  submits to the exclusive  jurisdiction of the Superior Court of the
State of New Jersey sitting in Hudson  County,  New Jersey and the United States
Federal  District  Court for the District of New Jersey  sitting in Newark,  New
Jersey, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection  herewith
or therewith,  or with any transaction  contemplated hereby or discussed herein,


                                       4
<PAGE>

and hereby  irrevocably  waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or
proceeding,  any claim that it is not personally  subject to the jurisdiction of
any  such  court,  that  such  suit,  action  or  proceeding  is  brought  in an
inconvenient  forum or that the  venue of such  suit,  action or  proceeding  is
improper.  Each party hereby  irrevocably waives personal service of process and
consents  to process  being  served in any such suit,  action or  proceeding  by
mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under
this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed
to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.

16. No Inconsistent Agreements.  None of the parties hereto will hereafter enter
into any agreement, which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the parties
in this Note.

17. Third Parties.  Nothing herein  expressed or implied is intended or shall be
construed to confer upon or give to any person or entity, other than the parties
to this Note and their respective permitted successor and assigns, any rights or
remedies under or by reason of this Note.

18. Waiver of Jury Trial. AS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE HOLDER TO LOAN TO THE
COMPANY THE MONIES  HEREUNDER,  THE COMPANY  HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR ANY AND
ALL OF THE OTHER DOCUMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TRANSACTION.

19.  Entire  Agreement.  This  Note  (including  the  recitals  hereto)  and the
Irrevocable  Transfer Agent  Instructions set forth the entire  understanding of
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and shall not be modified
or  affected  by any  offer,  proposal,  statement  or  representation,  oral or
written,  made by or for any party in  connection  with the  negotiation  of the
terms  hereof,  and may be  modified  only by  instruments  signed by all of the
parties hereto.

      IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  this Note is executed by the  undersigned  as of the
date hereof.
