One last question does giving plasma hurt or any after affects? I walk in signed up and left out because I was nervous.

Aboriginal Native American Tribe | Oct 1, 2019
SN M | Oct 1, 2019

The initial pinch from the donation needle stings a bit but if done properly the rest of the experience is painless. If you're nervous, I suggest requesting someone who has experience. Other than that, make sure you eat and are well hydrated before and after and you should be fine.

If I signed up for the one in Norfolk but never donated can I go to the one in Portsmouth?

Aboriginal Native American Tribe | Oct 1, 2019
Nicole Farrow | Oct 1, 2019

You can, just go to the one in Portsmouth and let them know. They may be able to transfer your info.

Can you just walk in? Also I'm visiting from the Richmond area. Can I still donate in the Norfolk location?

Akelia Gordon | Oct 1, 2018
sab_10 | Oct 1, 2018

The policies fluctuate. It's good to have an appointment. They're more concerned about cross donating than about what city you're from.

How long does it take for donors

Sharkcity M3ko | Oct 1, 2018
Helen Ward | Oct 1, 2018

It depends on if it's your first time and how busy they are when you get there. Typically about 2 hours, give or take, regardless. New donors take longer to get processed, but then they give you an express pass for the actual donation part that puts you to the front of the line. After your first visit, you answer the same questions on a computer screen each time, stand in line to get screened, then get taken back to the donation area. If they're understaffed or have a long line or both, it can take longer. But 2 hours is typical.

Whats the weight limits for the new payout?

Chris Timberlake | Oct 1, 2018
Brittany Johnson | Oct 1, 2018

110-149 lbs $50 for the first 5 times, regular is $15 for 1st and 2nd time of the week 150-400 $75 for the 1st and 5th time, 2-4 $50, regular $25 first time of the week, $50 for second time of the week

What is required to donate

Derrell White | Oct 1, 2018
Melissa Ann | Oct 1, 2018

Proper forms of identification in a current address to start I think an ID and a social security card will work I also think that you need a bill and proof of current residency plus you do have to take a physical which really isn't too hard just to make sure that you are able to donate that's a pretty easy process and I would say 99.9% of people able to donate

How long dose it take to become a new donor.?

Diamond Diaries | Oct 1, 2018
Carl Boone | Oct 1, 2018

My personal experience as being a new donor was slightly over 3 hours. Keep in mind, that is $25 per hour, if you are 150 lbs or more. Everything there after will take 1-1.5 hours. Drink lots of H2O, to speed up the flow.
