I was really scared and I did not know what to expect. When I walked in I was greeted by Dwayne (Super nice nurse) and was told what would happen. After filing out a form I was given some papers to read and a short open book quiz. I passed 100%. Then my picture was taken and finger scanned. After a few minutes I went to a computer station to basically answer some health questions. Nothing too impersonal I mean plasma is in blood so they need to know everything. I then went into the back so a nurse could check my iron and protein levels. After a short exam that consisted of listening to my heart and lung and even a knee tap, I was asked if I was ready to donate. I was so I was led to a comfortable chair. Now I must honestly say the Lead Plasma tech.. Two words. Eye Candy. I would go back just to see him. But I am going to go back to make a little extra money and help people. My experience was great! People make mistakes and at my first visit everything went very smooth. I will just remember to bring a book or as one guy had an I-pod to keep myself occupied while I donate! Thanks Frederkc Biologicals.

Trainee couldn't get the needle in after two tries. Got blood all over my arm and shirt. Will not be going back.
