Depends how tolerable you are of needles. Pumping your hand while the blood is being sucked out, I find to have a slight stinging sensation, but that's about it. Bring a blanket with you because the saline going in you will make you feel like you're in a fridge. If you need somewhere to put your belongings, there's a small cube holder under the bed you'll be laying on. They will give you a card where your money will be deposited, and you can check the balance in the tiny room where the vendor is. Remember your pin, it's in the papers with the card. You can donate I think they said every 2 days. Drink a good amount of water the day before and the day of donation. Make sure you eat at least 1-2 hours before. Also, it's a good idea to purchase a snack from the vendor right after or you'll feel like passing out if you don't eat after 2 hours of donating. They have wifi if you want to be on your phone using your arm not being injected. They closed today due to an outbreak btw.
Will they check your hsl? I just gave blood. Will u have a waiting period before u can give?
The busiest are when they first open and around lunch. I find around 2:30-3pm is the best time to donate.
