    When I lost my job and needed money fast I was nervous to donate plasma but I had a good experience…read morehere. People are nice. Takes a few hours to onboard but after that the initial donation takes about 45 min, an hour if you're not hydrated enough. The more hydrated you are the quicker the process. You get more money the more you weigh so it's nice to finally be a big girl somewhere. Some people I've met say they feel bad afterward, I never have but I eat and drink water before and after. It's usually cold so wear jeans. Of course during the day it's not as busy as after five, but they literally stay open to clients up until 6:59pm so they pretty much expect people to show up until that time. You can go up to twice a week with one day in between. I don't recommend walking there or like exercising before hand because if your heart rate is too high they won't take you. But you do have the option to rest for 15 min to see if it goes down. They even have a bus stop right in front of the complex. If you donate enough to receive 600 or more those don need to be counted as income on your taxes so remember that. Great option if you want free money for having plasma. Can't donate if you have seizures, on certain medication or have recently lived with someone with hepatitis c.

    If u need a quick $100 in less than 3 hrs!…read more Very easy & helpful ! Plus you can go twice a week!

    Ochsner... Oh Ochsner... My how you've grown. By leaps & bounds. You're taking over hospitals &…read morebuilding neighborhood clinics. What's next... the world??? Well, well, well. Soooooo pre-katrina, the Ochsner "main campus" was but a mere consideration & most times NOT the choice of hospitals one decided upon... BUUUUTTTT NOOOOOW post-katrina, options are limited & Ochsner has a slight "monopoly" so to speak, in the world of New Orleans clinic/hospitals. So with that being the case, your choices are Ochsner or Ochsner or Ochsner, yeah. Post-Katrina, I have visited this facility more times than I care to mention, either with a relative or a friend. And this time is no different, I'm here with a relative. Review time: Entering the ER triage, we were immediately told to take the elevator to the 8th floor... No reference to which set of elevators... Guess me, my in active labor, aminotic sac ruptured preggo sis & her bestie have to figure it out... Ummm ok. Next we get to the area where she's "to be admitted" & no1 is there to greet us. Sooooo I pushed the "no admittance doors" and admitted, ha... Lol (classic me). So we fiiiind the nurse station... because there was no welcoming committee & then we're wheeled to yet another area. Upon arrival in the L&D triage area, "the correct place" (ER personnel sent us to the post delivery area, we needed pre delivery) we finally get some treatment & attention. She's admitted & we meet a myriad of people, some with great bedside manners & some not so great. Namely, Drs Moore, Pullman, Jordan & Super Nurses Brooke & Emma, ALL members of #teamoutstanding... and then the members of #teamNOTsogreat, well they shall remain nameless. I can honestly say the care, concern & patience shown to us by The L&D Staff, was phenomenal!!! If Alton Ochsner were alive, I'd give the ladies a shout-out & DEMAND a raise. The Ochsner monopoly, the find the elevators episode & the few not so nice L&D staff members, ehhhhh 3 stars it is. And only 3 because of L&D. A few other things to be noted: Southport cafe is all about healthy food choices Getting an appointment here is months out Navigating the hospital itself, is complex The whole Ochsner monopoly, I'm over it

    Waited forever. Lady waiting in the waiting room coughing saying 'they just told me my Covid test…read morewas positive' when I was seen (1.5 hours after checking in) the NP had ZERO compassion and no bedside manner. I had torn a tendon in my hand and it was burning and hurting like crazy. 'It will get better on its own' was the only 'medical' advice they offered. Never again.
