I have been giving plasma for years and ALWAYS feel the stick. Today I gave and had Mike (tall Mike) stick me and I literately had to look down at my arm to see the needle in it because I did NOT feel a single thing. He was so amazing.

Horrible experience with exception of one staffmember who did my original screening on my first visit. Second visit screener was impatient rude and acted very much as if you were an inconvenience to be sitting there. I get white coat syndrome very easily and had small scratches on my arm from yardwork so screener calls another person to look at my arm scratches and then takes my blood pressure which at that point shot up because of screener causing me anxiety and unease. Told come back to be screened again in 10 minutes as I go back for second test screener calls another person over to look at arm again making an even bigger deal of it. Does test I was several points even higher than last test because of more anxiety given to me by screener doing this. Being agitated I called to talk to manager to say I didn't feel that was appropriate to do at the minimum check arms out call whoever needs to look than give the 10 mins min to lower blood pressure and retest. Was told to come back next day .I ended up with same screener only she seemed even ruder than prior visit to me she did exactly the same thing as prior day. Told come back another day. A day later get call from there protein levels too low for donation gotta take a blood sample and send it out for levels could take up to seven days... Mind you when you are a new donor you receive new donor fee which is higher than normal fees and which donations have to be donated within a 35 day period to be able to collect the amount. Waited 7 days still heard nothing so I called they replied your protein levels are still too low we need another test to send out which I said ok fine . After getting off phone went to another donation center to have protein levels checked. My protein levels were fine to donate and I have never been turned away for low protein levels ever. I think this was a retaliation for making a complaint against an employee. I don't recommend this place for donating to anyone.

The last few times I’ve donated at this location my experience has been absolutely horrible. First off they only got 1 person checking people in and then there’s only 2 people sticking needles in arms. It took them 1 hour and 40 min before I was even seated for the procedure. I would not recommend this location . Definitely not worth the time it takes out of my day for the cheap amount they pay for plasma donations. 100% absolutely disappointing experience. I highly recommend not going here.

UNERSTAFFED which makes for ridiculously long wait times and inadequate cleanliness. The bathrooms and seating areas were very dirty. These places prey on desperate people and this is one of the worst examples, coporate should be ashamed. Staff however, was very nice and deserve better working conditions.

Questions & Answers

Do they accept people who live in transitional housing or in clean and sober living? One would think they would prefer drug and alcohol free plasma!

kmdenterprises | Aug 12, 2022
Steg Abab | Aug 13, 2022

Transitional housing isn't only for people who have been to jail. It's typically people who are were recently homeless or low-income.

Why do they need proof of address ? Do they mail you something?

Latina Diosa | Aug 12, 2022
Zach Ray | Aug 13, 2022

I've never received any mail from them, I think it's more for being able to prove your residence and the fact that you're a citizen. And stable too. Homeless and No address, I don't know how much they'd like that.

does anyone know when the frequency bonus apply 6th or 8th donation?

I've never donated before and I really want to (and need the gas money at this point lol) but, I'm curious about disqualifiers... I am on three different types of medication and therefore cannot donate blood. What does that mean for plasma donation

Darlene Beickman | Aug 12, 2022
Ron Myles Jr | Aug 13, 2022

Not necessarily, it depends on the medications. Blood Services and Plasma have a lot of similarities, but also some major differences. I would give them a call and ask to speak with the physician. They should be able to let you know for sure.

William Evans | Aug 12, 2022
Keiryn Tuttle | Aug 13, 2022

Check with your doctor. And if you are a new donor DONT hide any medical information during the first time donor interview. Ultimately it is up to them to decide if you can donate and how often.

Kali Christian | Aug 12, 2022
Jessica Griffin | Aug 13, 2022

You should be able to get a new one call in make sure your still in the system

How much do they pay you for your first visit and how long does it take.

ElSicario 253 | Aug 12, 2022
Rhonda Zuraff | Aug 13, 2022

I think they pay $75 for your first visit. Your first time there takes anywhere from 2.5 to 3.5 hours, depending on how busy they are when you go in. You have to go through a pretty detailed screening process.

Do you pay? And how much?

David Cole | Aug 12, 2022
Valima Noble | Aug 13, 2022

No, they pay you, first month it adds up to like 300, if you go all the time, after that it's about 200

ALI FISO | Aug 12, 2022
Jessi-Kiah Spears | Aug 13, 2022

Best of them in the area, least amount of waiting as they've only been there a short time BUT always understaffed so depending on if someone isn't there for their shift it's a mess

How long is the entire process? I want donate to help others, but I dont have three hours of time out of a day to donate. Is there a way to not take three hours? From everything I read- the visits are very long

Melissa Wolkenhauer | Aug 12, 2022
Gregory Wraggs | Aug 13, 2022

It just depends on what time go honestly some times im in and out then sometimes im waiting in that first line but your first time is only long because the videos and all the stuff they have to show you and get you in the system.

Kimo | Aug 12, 2022
vernon hanner | Aug 13, 2022

But you can change them whenever you like. You just need to plan ahead accordingly. The next day would be wed. And your donating plasma,not blood, they are different.

A buddy of mine has high blood sugar (diabetes), but he DOES NOT take any medications or insulin. Can he donate plasma as long as he isn't on meds?

James Metzler | Aug 12, 2022
Devonte Ballard | Aug 13, 2022

Thwy will check his health history. And ask him questions. If he is a high risk than the answer is no. This company cares about the health of their donaters

I have a current Washington State ID card and a social security card, but due to mail theft, I have nothing other than my I.D. card that has my current address on. I have a P.O. Box as my mailing address. Is this o.k?

James Metzler | Aug 12, 2022
amy flores | Aug 13, 2022

I would call and ask because they ask for current mail with your physical address, so you may or may not be able to do it.

Yes. New donors can make $50 for their first 5 visits.
