Just two of us this time, and the room is small enough that I don't think a full class would be intimidating. The instructor, Dave, is awesome. He's very passionate about it, but he's also very personable, knowledgeable and helpful. More than happy to answer questions and explain everything. Although not hard to get to, the building is set back in the parking lot, so if you don't see the sign at the road, mixed in with other signs, you'll miss it. I drove down 295 for the 6PM class and the traffic was heavy. Give yourself plenty of time and if you're early, there are several fast food places where you can grab some food while you wait. I have no complaints about this class and would highly recommend it to everyone.

Want to feel good and make a real positive difference in the world? Give blood! One blood donation…read morecan help save the lives of up to three people. The Braintree Red Cross center makes donating whole blood (or platelets) easy. Whole blood donation is normally what's meant by "giving blood" and is what's collected at blood drives. This center just recently changed to collecting both whole blood and platelet donations, when they used to be a platelet only collection center, so the receptionist will give you information on donating platelets (a longer process) but they won't pressure you away from donating whole blood. I donated whole blood today at this center & it was great. Walked right in, was greeted by the receptionist & given some required reading, before being brought to a room by a nurse so she could check my vital signs, and iron level. (Low iron is a common thing that can keep women from being eligible to give blood.) After you pass those tests, you're left alone to answer a few more questions on a computer about your eligibility to give blood. After that, you're brought to lie down and give blood. The needle stick isn't painful and the process is pretty quick! It takes 40 minutes, you get juice, cookies, and a great feeling of "yeah! I really can change the world for the better!" when you leave after donating. And the staff will make you feel like a hero for donating. What's stopping you from making a blood donation? You know you want the blood supply available to you or a friend/family member when they need it in a medical emergency, but sadly blood has a limitted shelf life, so the supply needs regular donations. I walked in today, since there is a blood shortage due to regular donors not making as many appointments as they usually do due to taking vacations.

Just a little back story before the review... nearly a month ago Boston suffered a major tragedy…read more After the Boston Marathon bombings, I was in a state of shock and disbelief of what had happened. In wake of the events that took place, I knew that I wanted to do something to be able to 'help'. On Tuesday, April 16th, I tried to go on to the American Red Cross website to see where I could donate blood, unfortunately so was a lot of other people apparently because the site was slowed down to a crawl. I knew that there was a donation center in Braintree so I decided to go over on my lunch break. Upon arriving the line was out the door. There was numerous people wearing Boston Marathon jackets, all I could think of was "wow, you just ran 26.2 miles yesterday and now you want to donate blood today. WOW!". I got up to the desk to inquire about donating but I had already heard that they were completely booked solid. The receptionist was extremely nice about it, saying that she could possibly get me in the following week or I could attempt to come back before they closed that night. At this point I was willing to come daily until they took my blood. I decided to stop in after getting out of work to see if they had the time to take me. When I got there, the same receptionist told me that she would fit me in because I had come earlier in the day. The phones were still ringing off the hook and people were still walking in to attempt to give. There was a group of 6 or 7 other young people waiting to donate. We talked about what had happened, what was happening. I think that it comforted us all to talk to each other while we waited. The nurses were still very busy and the receptionist apologized for the wait, we all told her that it wasn't a problem and not to be sorry. I was able to do my pre screening and then give blood. The nurse that took my blood, Anna, was extremely nice. She made sure that I was comfortable the whole time. Even though I was there longer due to the high demand to donate, the whole donating process took less than 30 minutes for whole blood. Afterwards, they had me sit down, eat a snack and drink some water. They let me know what precautions I needed to take in the upcoming days and when I would be eligible to donate again. I would definitely recommend this donation center to anyone that was thinking about giving blood to the Red Cross.
