First time giving plasma, and I didn't know what to expect. I showed up right at 7am, but I missed the sign for "First Time Donors" at the front (directly to the right when you enter the building), so my first time in-processing took longer than it should. However, everyone was very nice and quick to respond, telling me how long things should take and really taking time to be personable and friendly while explaining every part of the process and answering any questions I had. I'm sad I didn't make note of the names of the ladies who helped me check-in at the beginning; they were lovely. But, Bubba on the donor floor was very nice and again explained things very well and answered any questions I had. At the end of my donation, I was on my last draw and started to feel faint, and he and another lady on the floor fanned me and got me feeling better in just a few minutes. I'm not an anxious person around needles or giving blood, and they explained that it probably happened because it took so long for me to go through in-processing compared to what I had eaten before I came in. This is something I shouldn't have to worry about going forward because from now on I can just check-in on my phone and get right to donating after a short vital check. I recommend getting there early, checking in on your phone, and following the signs. It was well worth even the extra time it took me this first time ($110 for 2.5 hours of filling out paperwork and laying on a table for 45 minutes), and I look forward to continuing to donate more at this location going forward. The compensation is good for the time spent, and the feeling of being able to help people in need is just the cherry on top. Really great staff as well!

I really enjoyed my experience. The staff was very nice (and patient), they got me right in for my evaluation, and made everything run very smoothly.. When they took me back for donation, they explained everything completely! I will definitely go back!

Getting registered for the first donation took a while, but as soon as that finished everyone was super quick! The stick was very easy and the donation went quick. My disconnect was also very easy and I appreciated that she told me what day I could come back so I already knew! All of the staff members I met were super sweet.

The whole experience was wonderful. I was nervous prior to going in but from the time the reception staff greeted me until I left after my first donation, all the staff was kind, helpful and very reassuring. The facility was very clean, bright, and welcoming. I will recommend this place to others for sure!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Coleen Alcomendas | Aug 19, 2018
Eric Haggard | Aug 19, 2018

It is plasma. So neither of those. Plasma is the watery part of what constitutes blood.

I gave blood at the red cross two weeks ago can I donate today:

Coleen Alcomendas | Aug 19, 2018
tiffany kilgore | Aug 19, 2018

I would not reccomend it. When you donate whole blood it takes up to 8 weeks for it to go back up if you go in to donate plasma we take your rbc out also and you could end up passing out.

What are they paying out to regular donors ? Like after the first 8 " new donor " deal . I have tried to call to get info today but no answer . Thanks :)

Randicles | Jul 19, 2022
Anthony Truax | Jul 19, 2022

So the payout varies based on location and usually based on weight (which affects how much plasma you donate). I visit the one on Mill Plain and for July they are doing 55 for the first a week, and 60 for the second, but they have a bonus if you donate twice per week you get $10 extra, effectively making it 55/70 for your first and 2nd in a week. Weeks start on Monday and end on Sunday.

Why is it hard to get professionalism in this environment.

TJ. BlackBonnet | Aug 19, 2019
Mr.n.Mrs. J.Chinn | Aug 19, 2019

My Man and I have being going to the center in Vancouver for 3plus years now. Always something going on but they are only human. Where ever you go there will be drama ect... These people work hard and do a great job! I personally feel you get treated how you treat them. Feel disrespected maybe look at your actions and change that. Its free money for few hours of your time dont be so petty and put down the employees who are doing their jobs best they can. Your complaint about something you volunteer for is just about as lame as it gets. Be better than that....

what is current pay schedule for regular donars

Nicholas Dakota | Feb 19, 2022
Jill MT | Feb 19, 2022

It depends on weight; the highest bracket makes $60 per donation.

How much is this location currently paying for new donors ? And then after that , what is the rate for regular donors ? Thanks to all that reply !

Randicles | Feb 19, 2022
Jennifer Wilson | Feb 19, 2022

1st 8 donations totals to 825.00! Then after it's based off weight. If under 150, it's basically 40 for the 1st 5 donation and then 45 after each time. Over 150 is like 50 the 1st 5 then 60 after. Confusing but worth it. Also if you can get someone to refer you u probably can both get an extra 100. And the app they provide makes you earn more money too.

Autumn Manderscheid | Aug 18, 2021
Shannon Morgan | Aug 18, 2021

You can come in as soon as they open. And as far as how busy it gets what I do is look on google and right beneath the times that they're open will show you how busy they currently are.

Money Mike | Aug 18, 2020

What food do you recommend eating the night before donating?

Jonathan Sholund | Aug 18, 2020
ARES206 | Aug 18, 2020

It's not really a question about the night before. They recommend you eat something right before you donate, so the same day within maybe an hour or so of donating. Just to make sure you have soemthing in your stomach. Some people can become light headed or start feeling sick once the donation process is complete and they start giving you your salene. If you have an empty stomach, there is a chance you can become ill when the salene enters your system. Granola bar, crackers, you don't have to eat a full course meal just something with some carbs or protein in it.

Google says the center opens at 6am, but is that actually the earliest they start drawing as well?

Mason Valenzuela | Aug 18, 2020
Danielle Champiet-Coronado | Aug 18, 2020

Yes. If you have already gone through the physical with the nurse, then you just sign in at the kiosk, have a quick vital check and then donate. If this is your first time ever, then it will take a little longer to get yo the donation part. I've donated at a few other clinics at different times and the initial setup is the same.

If I have a broken thumb, should I wait till it's completely healed or could I still donate?

Richard | Aug 19, 2019
Lisa Syverson | Aug 18, 2020

No you cannot. We never let someone donate with a cast. They may have a brace on and that is only if it is for stability. If you have a broken it sprained anything you need your plasma to heal, your plasma contains your proteins which aids in recovery from injuries. Please self refer to a nurse onsite so they can give you the specifics on how long you have to wait. PLEASE PLEASE do not lie about injuries, this is bad for your body no money is worth that and could result in a permanent deferral from the company. I work here. You CANNOT donate with any broken bone. It's not about if it is the arm you donate from

brenda serrano | Aug 19, 2019
ARES206 | Aug 19, 2019

4 would be tough, but doable. They tell you to account for 3 hours your first time. I'd recommend trying to go in the morning for your first time, as it is far less busy. Anytime after 3 or 4 in the afternoon is pretty busy.

What time should I come if it's my first time?

Taylor Barnett | Aug 19, 2019
StaishaNadineVlogs | Aug 19, 2019

Go early. And make sure you give yourself enough time.to get set up. The first initial intake took a while. I'd say at least an hr and a half if not a little longer. Once you get signed up and they make a profile for you, you see a nurse and they do a basic physical. Very basic non intrusive. After the physical they take you to the donation floor where you donate your first time. Pay goes. 60 60 40 40 70 For your first 5 donations.

How much is it really for first time plasma draw?

Renee Shaw | Aug 19, 2019
StaishaNadineVlogs | Aug 19, 2019

It goes. 60 60 40 40 70 Then the first donation of the week is 25 the second is 45. You can only donate twice a week. And if you are under 150# you may get less $ Each month they have bonuses though. So this month after you donate 8 times you get $90 bonus.

You need a valid id with current address if it isn't current mail post dated with in the past 30 days (usually it is dated where the stamp is), and social security card or w2 that you yourself did not prepare.

Lawrence Brendel | Aug 19, 2018
tiffany kilgore | Aug 19, 2018

Valid id with current address if it is not current then mail post dated within tje last 30 days, ss card (or w2 form or tax documents that you did not prepare) dont bring in a copy of the sscard. Name on both id and sscard has to match. Eat 2 hours before coming in. Dont expect for it to be quick some people have waited 5 to 6 hours as a new donor depending if it is busy so make sure you are not pressed for time.
