donating plasma in evansville

Ever donated? Saw an ad for it the other day, wondering how much they pay and how long it takes. Any info appreciated, thanks

It takes 2 or so hrs your first time and I know you can go up to three times a wk. Not sure about how much you get its changed since I went. If you have any tattoos near where the put the needle ove heard them say you can't donate. This was at the one off weinbach there's also one on 1st ave by goodwill.

You can only donate twice a week now. And it has to be at least two days in between. It pays $40 the first two times. After that it's $20 the first time in a week and them $40 the 2nd. On your 8th time you'll get $83. It takes about an hour and a half to two hours. I go to CSL and it's on wienbach. You can't have any piercings or tattoos within the last year. But it's a good way to earn a little extra money.

. You can have your ears pierced? I didn't get it done within the last year. Do you have to know your blood type and why do they pay so much when you do it eight times?

Will they let you bring kids i there whole you get it done and does the red cross do it also?

@mommy the red cross doesnt give money for anything you donate its all for blood banks. I doubt you can take your child with you unless they are of age where they can sit still in the waiting area cause you cant get up and move around when they are have you in the chair.

Okay, thank you

You have to be 18 to go into the building so no kids. You can have tattoos and piercings as long as they were not within the last year. And you do not have to know your blood type.

I hate that place. I was drinking one day and went there to give a donation. How was I to know it wasn't the sperm bank? I can say they don't appreciate a man masturbating in the lobby.

Yeah they changed a lot of rules there. Kind of makes it harder for parents. But my children are too young to be quiet anyways. Lol.

I know that all too well

Do you get cash?

No, on a credit card/debit type thing.

Yeah, sorry guys the rules have changed a lot in the 4 years since I've been there. Sorry about the kids, but no one under age of 18 is allowed in the building due to "legal liability issues" Also, we have a new rule to where there is no food or drinks past the lobby area, and they are trying really hard to enforce that rule as well.

Payment is now on a visa card like Ciao Bella xo said. The payments are:

110lbs-149lbs - new donors get$30 first and second visit, then afterwards $15 first visit of the week and $15 second visit of the week.

150lbs- 174lbs - new donors get $40 first and second visit, then afterwards $20 first visit of the week and $30 second visit of the week.

$175 and above - new donors get $40 first and second visit, then afterwards $20 first visit of the week and $35 second visit of the week.

For all new donors, if you make 8 visits with in 45 says of your first donation day, you get $63.

Now with the tats and piercings; If you have had any new tats or piercings in the last year, you cannot donate, and this is because you cannot show proof that you had it done professionally, or if it was done with professional equipment. Home made tats and piercing have a higher risk of Hepatitis and other diseases per Coperate.

We have also changed the rule on placement of tats, if you have a tat over where they can stick you on one arm, but none on the other arm you are now okay to donate, just as long as you have a good vein in that arm.

I hope that answered some questions for you guys. Have a nice day!

What about the one on first ave....they were giving $50 for the first 5 times....then 20 first time in a week and 35 for the second!!

Is it safe though

The weekends are usually less busy. I go on mon. and weds. afternoons and they are usually not too busy. It all depends because it varies.
