@jean603 i threw up my first and third donation, so that's normal. i just gave blood just a few days, and it still hurts where they put the needle! so it's all fine!

We use to have those. But now we get these pre-made packs where the wrap is included, and donors don't get to choose their color anymore. Kind of a bummer. :/

Hey guys, listen @ :23-:24 seconds. You hear a loud thump. The RN even looks over in that direction the thump came from. LOL, I bet some donor was donating and he/she got woozy, passed out and fell on the floor. I bet they said "keep rolling, don't stop the camera." They clean the iodine from her arm? They didn't do that the last time. All they did was wrap up my arm and got me out of the chair. Said get some cookies and the tech ran away. LOL, the donor center wasn't even busy.

What,, she gets to chose her tape? They give us this crappy tape. Falls off in 1 minute. The donor tech's get paid about $20,000 a year. Thats bad. They should make more. The ones I see at our donor center just read the paper. One tech, I hear her complain that she hates 2 other tech's LOL.. The tech said those are lazy bit*ches.

No Camo tape?

I'll just keep donating plasma and making money...while helping burn victims and people with hemolilialalaahglhalghasdghlas­gh

@retardedbaboon Sorry.. You've been misinformed. Probably from the plasma center staff lying to you to keep your business. Yes, plasma goes to burn victims and hemophiliacs. However, plasma from plasma centers where you get paid for your donation, DO NOT go to those people. Those donations go to medical research and pharmaceuticals. FDA requirements state that no blood donor can be paid monetarily for their blood donation if their donation is going directly towards human transfusion.
