Yep-ain't it great! I'm an RN recipient of two organs (two corneas). I even thought of applying to a Transplant Coordinator position (I've had 10 years of crit care experience "way back".) But then again, I believe you need the energy of a twenty five year old with the wisdom of a "70" year old nurse to do this work. Again, thanks for your post!
