I'm extremely frustrated because getting donors paid should have been a top priority. The way management has handled this situation is completely unacceptable. To make matters worse, they left a needle in my arm for far too long after the power went out, which is absolutely ridiculous. That should never happen, and it could have caused serious complications. The entire experience has been unprofessional and unacceptable. I'm hoping I finally receive my funds today, but at this point I wouldn't be surprised if I have to wait another day. Trust me--I won't be coming back.

I finally got my chance on memorial Day. I chose CSL plasma because their information on their app was very comprehensive. The three staff members that took care of me on my new donor visit were outstanding. Miss Gwen did my intake assessment and she was precisely by the book. As a career oncology nurse, I know that processes and standards are there to ensure safety, and I was so relieved with her attention to her facility's standards. Miss Nakina did my physical assessment, and again I saw that commitment to precision and safety. My technician who did the actual procedure was Miss Letti, and she must have used a magic needle because I didn't feel a thing! I felt so safe there. The debit card is a safe way to receive payment, and I strongly suggest reading the paperwork/schedule of fees that comes with it so you don't spend money on fees you don't have to! Hmm, wonder if CSL needs a part time RN? Thank you, CSL Plasma, looking forward to many happy donations!

Each time I've donated blood in New Tampa (Walmart parking lot), it's been the staff of the Lakeland Branch who has greeted me, questioned me, taken my blood, & sent me packing w/ a beach towel or shirt, along w/ a gift card. (The current promotion is a beach towel & $45 in gift cards; it ends Aug 31.) If you're in Tampa or Wesley Chapel, finding an open appointment online & reserving the time takes a minute or more. Once you arrive at the big red bus (currently in a mask-- regardless of vaccine status), you'll answer a few oral questions after answering questions on a Tablet. Then you'll be taken to a bed, offered a beverage & snack, & be stuck; I have yet to ever feel more than a non painful pinch. Once the blood has been collected; the needle is removed; & the gauze is attached w/ a wrap, it's time to go. I've used the Lakeland OneBlood mobile unit 4x-- each time in the Walmart parking lot in New Tampa. No parking issues! No long wait! No hassles! Staff has always been friendly; the women have varied each time. Some of the busses are newer & shinier than others, but all have appeared clean. The entire process from reserving an appt time (on-line) to leaving the bus to go home after the donation has always been INCREDIBLY speedy & easy. I'll continue to donate blood every two months regardless of promotion, & I'll continue to rely on this mobile bus unit. OneBlood makes donating simple!

What an incredible first time experience I had at Women's Choice in Lakeland, FL!!! I am currently…read more16 weeks pregnant and was unsure as to where I should go in regards to help with baby preparation (i.e. parenting classes, breast feeding suggestions, necessary baby items, car seat safely, sleeping safety, parental encouragement, etc.) While using google to find resources, Women's Choice popped up, so I gave them a call. The very first phone conversation with a young lady named Angel, was absolutely delightful and very informative. She was polite and explained the program in detail- I never felt rushed or uncomfortable with the questions I needed answered. She took her time with me and was very patient. Angel scheduled me for an appointment the same week I called and kept in contact with me prior to my appointment. Once I arrived at the facility, it was homey, clean, organized and inviting. I was assigned to Mrs. Amy for the intake process and what a blessing she was to me that day. It was as if I was talking to my mom, my counselor and a teacher all at the same time. She went above and beyond to educate me about the programs offered and to actually listen to my story to see how Women's Choice could best assist me in this pregnancy and after birth. She actually brought me to tears with her sincere compassion and empathy. She made my experience one that I will NEVER forget. During the same day, after my intake process, they were actually able to get me in for my first ultrasound!!! I was excited and nervous, but the ladies at Women's Choice surrounded me with love and affection. Angel (I think the name says it all) was a breath of fresh air as she completed my ultrasound. She made me feel calm and relaxed while doing my ultrasound - I was so nervous. But those beautiful individuals helped me through a very tender moment in my life and I am so genuinely grateful for Women's Choice. I would definitely recommend this program to any women out there who are undecided or don't know where to go for help during pregnancy. Trust me, it will be the best decision that you make for you and your little one, whatever decision you decide. Women's Choice will be a support system and resource that you will NOT regret. Thank you to all the individuals that helped turn my entire perspective about pregnancy into a positive one. If you are reading this review, it is not a coincidence. Women's Choice is where you need to be. Hope this helps you on your pregnancy journey. Nykesha Burton

One (Salman Warsi), emailed that the policy was changed and monthly donors DO NOT GET REWARDS: "Starting 03/30, therapeutic donors who donate before the 56 day window are not eligible to receive rewards. The general and challenge rewards are tied to the standard whole blood eligibility of every 56 days. eGift Card rewards are only provided when donations occur within that eligibility window. If a donation happens before the 56 day window, even if it is doctor recommended, it does not quality for rewards." NOWHERE IN THEIR OFFICE.... in my portal....or on their WEBPAGE was this "CHANGE IN POLICY" posted!!!!! THIS IS FRAUDULENT....reude.....immortal...and very poor public relations!!! I've given over 2 gallons in recent months! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED----ONE BLOOD IS NOT TRUTHFUL, LEGAL, FORTHCOMING or even respectful of their donors!!!
