Any Jehovah's Witnesses out there?

Hi. Are any of you Jehovah's Witnesses or work with a nurse who is a Jehovah's Witness? I need some advice about working in an area where I won't have to deal with the issue of blood transfusions.

We have a large JW community where I live and I work with many JW Nurses. I've double checked blood with many of them and noticed that they seemed to have no reservations about running the blood. I finally got up the nerve to ask one of my JW co-workers and was told that not hanging blood is not prohibited and that it's a personal decision. For anyone who's pursued a religious exemption, I'm curious how this process works and how it's defined?
