was talking to the cousin last night and they want to go back to school at 50. says they are interested in being an organ transplant technician. how do you train for that? is there a school that offers that? i guess it's the person that helps on the transplanting team when a newly deceased person is having his organs removed while still in the ER.

Specializes in school nursing, ortho, trauma.

i've walked the tech from the eye bank down to harvest in the morgue but have never asked her training background nor stayed to watch - i don't "do" eyes... the idea of removing all or part of them makes my skin crawl! Props to those of you that do such an important task.
