Hey, my name is Andrew and I'm using this site as a quick reference to get some help on issues that may arise in the blood bank where I work. I will be allowing our blood bank supervisor to use this also

Welcome Andrew! I hope you find answers here as the rest of us have. Maybe your bb supervisor could get an individual sign on?

Hi Andrew, welcome to BBT

Welcome to BBT Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

You will learn a tremendous amount here, as we all have.

Not least, you will learn just how generous people are with their knowledge and time. It is amazing.

I've just started and it is AMAZING the breadth of knowledge of the seasoned posters here....GREAT resource!!

As a seasoned poster, I thnk you for that froggymark, but it is not just the seasoned posters that have breadth (and depth) of knowledge. I've learned an awful lot from posters who have only made a very few posts. The great thing is, everyone has something useful to give, and for the most part they do.

If you look at TimOz, just as an example, he has posted about 80 times, and so is considered to be a member, rather than a seasoned poster, and yet about 75 of those posts are pithy and to the point.

It's brilliant site.
