    No doubt about it, this is a business, but once you have your physical and first donation,…read moreeverything is easy. The physical/donation takes about two hours Once you were an established donor, when you make your appointment arrive on time go to the computer bank on the right, and fill out the questionnaires. You will be directed to wait for a nurse to clarify the questions you didn't get answered correctly or go stand in the station and possibly wait in line to be seen by an intake person who measures your vitals and has a couple screening questions. The numbers they find, parentheses blood pressure, wait, iron level in the blood, etc. Determine the amount of plasma for your donation. Take some music and headphones or book or something. The phlebotomist are professional and don't hurt you.

    I went in on Saturday to earn some extra money as my husband is transitioning jobs and school for…read morekids were starting and we needed extra funds to get through. Took over 3 hours to get the physical and start the process of donating which I expected it being the first time at this location. With the initial poke, it didn't feel right but I saw the blood in the tubes so I knew she was probably in a vein and it would be fine. Not even 5 minutes later, the machine was signaling no flow. She messed with the tubes, eventually stating again and it stopped, with a warning of something along the lines of large pressure, she readjusted my needle and blood started to come out of the needle sight and then I could see the size of a golf ball starting to form above the needle sight with extreme pain and hands tingling. I grabbed her for the third time. She took it out saying she didn't know why there was no flow and I could try the other arm or be done without pay. Why would I let you stick my arm again? I said I'm done with this arm and then showed her how I now had a knot and she got a ice pack and when I was asking her why this happened and what was going on she wouldn't give me a direct answer just that she didn't know but needed to get a nurse. Greater than rbc loss and no salene is what I heard her say. Nothing was said or explained to me and I never saw the nurse again after I was given an electrolyte drink. I was sat down for 20 minutes and no one came to me again and eventually I got up looking for someone and told them I needed to speak with a manager because I checked my card when I was there and was only offered $10 for convenience: this was not my fault or my first time donating by any means. Now I have a painful arm almost a week later that seems to be getting larger and worse. The money isn't worth it. They wouldn't acknowledge what the worker did wrong or compensate more than $10 for my time or pain. She just said there was nothing she could do for me and going on hour 4 I just decided to go home to my family and figure out something else.
