ITEM 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

   (a)   On October 2, 2003, we, Crdentia Corp., Nurses Network, Inc., NNI
Acquisition Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of ours, and certain
shareholders of Nurses Network, Inc. consummated the merger of NNI Acquisition
Corporation with and into Nurses Network, Inc. pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated July 16, 2003, as amended on
September 9, 2003.

         In connection with the merger all outstanding shares of capital stock
of Nurses Network, Inc. were converted into the right to receive a ratable
portion of the merger consideration.  The merger consideration is equal to sixty
percent of the sum of Nurses Network, Inc.'s revenue for the six consecutive
fiscal quarters commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2003 and
will be payable solely in shares of Crdentia common stock.  Subject to the terms
and conditions of the merger agreement, as amended, an advance closing payment
of 118,084 shares of Crdentia common stock was issued to the former Nurses
Network, Inc. shareholders at the closing.  The consideration for and the other
terms and conditions of the merger were determined by arms-length negotiations
between us and Nurses Network, Inc.  Robert Kenneth, a member of our board of
directors, was a director, officer and shareholder of Nurses Network, Inc.

   (b)   Nurses Network is a San Francisco, California based nurse staffing
agency which provides licensed staff for medical clinics as well as skilled home
healthcare visits.  We intend to continue the operations of Nurses Network, Inc.
as a subsidiary of Crdentia and use Nurses Network, Inc.'s equipment and other
physical property in the conduct of such operations.

         The description of the transaction set forth above is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the merger agreement filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the report
on Form 8-K on July 18, 2003 and to the amendment to the merger agreement filed
with this current report as Exhibit 2.2.
