Several years ago I worked in a government VA hospital and there was a nursing shortage. The hospital had a program to send promising LPNs back to school to get their RN. One young woman applied for and was selected for the program. So she went to college at taxpayer expense. Just prior to graduation, the young woman declared that she had converted to a religion in which it was now against her faith to handle or deliver blood products. In other words, she could not hang a transfusion, pull blood samples, etc.

Did the woman initially sign a paper that obligated her to be a party to any medical procedure, even if it violated her moral beliefs?

A person does not check her moral beliefs at the door just because someone finances their education. That's called "selling out".
