The staff is friendly and welcoming from the moment you step in. Mobilized white blood cell donation requires two long 3.5 hour sessions and they did everything they could to keep me comfortable so I could complete each session. I live 20 minutes from Quincy and they even paid for my Ubers. Would highly recommend signing up with them if you are looking to make extra cash.

I was sketched out at first about getting paid to give blood, but this place is SUPER clean and…read morewell staffed in terms of taking care of you. They have snacks, drinks, blankets, and entertainment for when you do long hours. You get paid $25 for the initial screening on-site to see if you qualify to be a donor regardless of the outcome for your time. The staff are friendly and helpful! The pay is good for those who need extra cash and it's all for a good cause too!

I had never donated blood before. Just never really thought of it. But I learned about the many…read morebenefits of donation for the donor and decided to give blood. One problem, I have a blood issue that makes many of the *donate to other people* places unwilling to allow me to donate. So I googled and found this place. My blood will not go to other human beings. The pros are that they give you a lot of free medical tests. You have an evaluation (for which they pay you) and get a lot of things tested. But even on the day of donation they test your blood for iron and take blood pressure etc. They pay you in cash on the day you donate. I also feel pretty safe in their hands as they seem to take blood well and are pretty expert at it. Cons for me is that I do think the rate they pay for the blood needs to go up and it is not in a great location I think to easily get people there. I live about an hour away by car. I would recommend it.

I donate whole blood and the whole process takes an hour from checking in to finish. I recommend completing the Rapidpass online to save some time. Once you check in you wait in the waiting area for your name to be called. Then they take you into a back room and ask some of the same questions as the Rapidpass. Next, they do a fingerstick to check your hemoglobin and get a full set of vitals (pulse, blood pressure, temperature). After donating blood, they offer you snacks and sometimes a free shirt. The only downside is that parking can be tough to find. I recommend coming on a Sunday when it's less busy and to get the free meter parking.

They keep asking me to leave a review so here it is. If you get someone good the process is great,…read morebut if you get someone who is inexperienced and pushed through the "training" this is what happens. Once the needle went in I said that didn't feel right. The technician started tapping my arm looking for the needle. He started the machine and walked away. Now there only two possible scenarios and both are not good. One, he knew he skewered my vein and left because he didn't want to deal with it. Or two, he wasn't trained enough to know how to do a "stick" and the higher ups left him to figure it out on his own. Either way the Donor loses. It felt like a ballon was inflating under my skin and was painful. Switched to the other arm to get my blood back and that vein was punctured as well. I was told "it happens. and I can't come back for two months." It happens when you don't have someone trained properly, if at all. And what happens when you let this person do sticks? You get a bunch of us with double hematomas and told we can't come back for months. Which leaves us telling everyone we can what happened and posting the reviews you asked for. You need to fix how you train because this "in house" training where there is no accountability and no actual courses taken on how to stick a vein is not working. You also have people setting up the machines while we are sitting in chairs that are not set up and waiting over 20 minutes. That does not make sense. There are some great people there and I hope they read this line where you know how much I appreciated you and I always tried to let you know. I also want to refer to one of the other reviews that mentioned about a staffer flirting. They are right. It was very obvious. And don't respond with the generic "please contact us for so we can look into this matter further" crap. You NEVER answer the phones. I left multiple messages on the generic mailbox and the nurses mailbox as I was told to and never once did I get a call back. Well you finally got me to leave a review BioLife, I hope it serves you better than you serve your customers.

For another, the RI Blood Center seems to be affiliated with CT now, and they have stepped up the donor recognition since the merger. All Season donors (those of us who give once a season) can register for an annual gift. While I appreciate the recognition (and the way to casually advertise blood donation in the wind), I give regularly because it's the easiest possible way to save up to 3 lives with each donation. It's the best way I know to give back. Try it!

The receptionist is friendly and efficient, and the waiting area is comfortable with cushioned chairs and a tv. There are usually snacks and water bottles on the check in counter. All of the staff I've encountered here have been friendly, polite, and very competent. I always make an appointment and have never had to wait all that long after my scheduled time. The donation area is also clean and comfortable, and I've never felt more than a needle prick of pain while donating here, the staff are just awesome at what they do. They take great care to make sure you are comfortable and feeling ok throughout the donation process. The rest area for after you finish donating is really nice as well, and it's stocked with cold drinks, an awesome coffee & hot cocoa machine, and packaged sweet and salty snacks. I always go for the Lorna Doones. Definitely recommend this location - It's my favorite place to give blood and platelets in RI.
