CSL Plasma

Every time I’ve gone they have always been professional and nice to me. I’ve also worked in customer service for 8 years so I can read a tone of people pretty quick. If you have a low patience or tend to want things done quickly yeah i wouldn’t recommend it. You won’t be waiting in line for hours but the process does take a few. You rarely notice it though, because you can gradually see that the lines moving always at a steady pace and no body holds up the line. You can come at the very last minute and still be included so its $ 50 the first five times then its $ 20 after that so no complaints here.

The people here never do there jobs everyone is just always walking around doing nothing or sitting on their phones or just bullshitting. I can’t say one person there is decent. No one communicates with each other. So no one ever knows what the hell is going on. They do not care about anything besides themselves. It’s not my first there its the same thing every time. There more worried about what there going to have for lunch and dinner then actually doing there job. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. YEAH $ 50 is nice but going to wait at least 4 – 5 hours. Cancel everything you have planned if you plan to go here.

It’s not the fastest center I’ve been to, but you get paid to sit and watch tv or your laptop. It’s usually slower during the mid morning and early afternoon. I’ve never had a problem with the staff.

I wanted to donate as a first timer today, I came in at 6am went through their process with watching a movie, answering their questionnaire and once it was time for a physical I got deferred. The trainee and supervisor both checked my lymph nodes and told me since it’s cold season even though I don’t show any signs of being sick my body might be fighting something and they didn’t want to risk it so she said to come back in a week. While waiting after I got deferred I went ahead and looked up how to check your lymph nodes and online «Usually lymph nodes are not enlarged and thus cannot be felt. The exception is that in slim people it is normal to be able to feel one or two small painless groin lymph nodes on both sides.» I should’ve told that to the nurse but by her being flustered with the line she wasn’t going to have it. I guess patience is not virtue.

I am a current donor at CSL Plasma in Las Vegas. I felt that my experience today was very disappointing. While waiting for the data entry person to input my information, I was replying to a text on my phone when the security officer came into my booth and rudely told me that I needed to get off my phone. I was even surprised that he was even speaking to me being that I didn’t feel that I was doing anything disrespectful because I had been waiting for a while. Once finished, I came out and checked my phone again for service and soon as I sat down waiting for the nurse the officer approached me and asked did I take a photo of him. Surprised again, I told him no and instantly the assistant center manager Michele P came up to me and asked to speak to me. She accused me of taking photos of the officer and asked to look through pictures of my phone. I told her I felt that it was an invasion of my privacy and that I didn’t take any photos. She said that she wouldn’t tolerate my disruptiveness and told me to leave for the day. I have never had any problems at this facility before today, though I haven’t been here in a while I just felt extremely disrespected at the fact that because I was accused of taking photos when I wasn’t and when asked if I could review the camera footage of their accusations she instantly said that that was impossible. Other than this incident, I always feel that the staff is very helpful and overall my experiences have been good but I do believe that Michele P’s role as a manager should be reviewed. I have been donating in general for a while and I do understand that it saves lives and I actually feel that I am making a difference while doing it but because I was very embarrassed at this incident I will not be returning to this facility.

It opens at 6am so that’s when I got there and already packed but I was only in line for 20 minutes so I’m ok with that. The lady working the front desk has obviously been doing this for a while and said that to come back at 9am since they wouldn’t be able to get a NEW donor in right away. I’m glad she told me! So I left and came back right before 9. There was a different lady who didn’t know what she was doing, I basically waited around for 30 minutes to watch the video and answer the questionnaire. After that you go to a physical and the nurse was behind because of an allergic reaction to someone giving blood! Soooo delayed and I go to get an iron check, at this point it’s 10:45 and my iron is at 35 but should be at 38! Booo waited for no reason and I «thought» I ate enough iron the day before. So they said sorry you can come back tomorrow haha ok thanks!
Now if you do donate they give $ 50 on reloadable card– so do not throw this away unless you’re never going again! My friend was with me and she has been before and she got there at 6:30a and left at 8:15a. After your first time seems like a breeze, but man getting through the first one might not be worth it –_–

Absolutely a waste of time. .they know how desperately people need money and they use it to make an unnecessary 3 to 4 hours wait. Even the supervisor just walking around not acknowledging human contact.

Very pleasant on the phone… However some of there requirements were ridiculous! Going there tomorrow to check it out, wish us luck! We’ll keep you posted!!! AHHHHHH

By far the worst place I’ve been to in my life there staff are all super super rude… They don’t seem like they wanna work it’s just the worst I wouldn’t suggest anyone go there id rather get my blood drawn at a psych ward then here

I donated plasma for the first time today. Overall it was a pretty smooth process! Right now, they pay $ 50 for your first 5 times, then after that the pay depends on your body weight. The money is loaded onto a prepaid credit card, you don’t get cash.
Before I went I did some research and it appeared this place was the best. I arrived at around 7am. There were only a couple of people in the lobby, one other new donor. The place was very clean, most of the staff was quite friendly, there was a tv and free wifi. Because it was my first time, I had to go through the intake process which took about an hour. I had to show my drivers license, proof of address and social security card. I then had to watch a 15 minute video, then do a screening which included a blood pressure and plasma check and then finally a brief physical.
I would recommend coming early, and planning to be here about 3 – 4 hours your first time.
After I went through all the intake stuff I was put on one of the beds to collect my plasma. I brought my tablet (Thank God!) and was allowed to use it the entire 1 hour and 15 minutes it took for my plasma to fill the bottle. Not too bad. I definitely recommend bringing in a tablet if you have one or a phone, fully charged, and preloaded with your favorite tv shows or movies. Otherwise you will be EXTREMELY bored.
My only complaint is, after I had given the plasma, the «nurse» ripped out the needle and it hurt pretty bad.

i was a little nervous when i first started the process, make sure you have all day to get the initial paperwork and physical completed, because you will be there for a while, but it is with great dedication that the time is taken to make sure things are done to federal regulations. my first attempt ended in not being able to get a donation due to an issue possibly with my veins. so i waited for the correct amount of time and went back at which time i had to do a new physical which was no problem until their computer system went down in the middle of collecting my signature, which ment i had to go back another day and redo the physical. i have to say that everyone was extremely apologetic and supportive. i went back the next day and completed everything again and was able to make my donation. if the employees at this facility had not been as apologetic as they were i wouldn’t have gone back. so to the staff of CSL Plasma and especially the MSA’s i want to say thank you.

It’s not as bad as some of the over-​exaggerated reviews say they are. You are being compensated for donating plasma, so it makes sense that a lot people come here. I’m giving it three stars because it is dirty and always smell weird.
Tip: Just come early in the morning (6 am) and you can be done within 2 hours maximum.

Help save lives and make some extra cash. how can you go wrong? Not as bad as some people made it out to be. The staff’s cool. Make them laugh and they’ll make your experience pleasant. Make sure you come with a full phone battery and a positive attitude. Oh, and if it’s your first time, bring plenty of patience and have nothing to do for a couple of hours.

my first time ever donating plasma. i read the other reviews and was kind of nervous. the only negative comment i have is that it took awhile. but in terms of staff they got 5 stars all the way around. they were friendly, helpful and informative. bre hooked me up to the machine and she was awesome. at the end i started to get lightheaded and dizzy etc. they were on it… made sure i was ok. unfortunately i didnt get the other names but thank you very much. they quickly made me feel better and i wasnt worried. i would recommend CSL and the staff.

I have donated plasma in Minnesota for years so I was glad to find a place near me. I knew the first time being a new donor was going to be time consuming. The lines move along quickly and I play games on my phone while I wait and while I donate. The only thing I wish is that they would have a few more kiosk machines to register but it is what it is. The TV’S are always on Football or good movies to pass the time. The pay is good for the first five donations:$ 50 each but then there after is based on your weight. In Minnesota they didn’t have that provision. I feel the staff is friendly and I do know that everyone has good days and bad days but I have had nice staff. I do not look like a person who has been on the last episode of «cops «lol. The screening process is to protect the Center and the donor. being truthful of your history and health is a must. I will continue to save lives twice a week here without fear of disease or the look of the people who donate (in a previous comment those two factors were her fears). I feel the Center has the donors well protected wearing gloves, wiping down the beds. tho I have had to ask a few times to have this done if they are super busy. GREAT PLACE!

This place is super sketchy. It’s not in a good area of town. Everyone in there looks like a junky that’s already used to shooting up, so sticking a needle in their veins is no big deal. There was no sense of direction, nothing.
A friend of mine decided we wanted to donate our plasma and make $ 50. We walked in, and the place was chaotic. To our left, there was about 10 people standing at a kiosk. Next to them was 50 people in line waiting for god knows what. Then to our right there was a desk, and passed that was a waiting room.
My friend went up to the desk and told the guy (young Asian guy with glasses) we were new and weren’t sure what to so. He was immediately annoyed. Asked for our id, proof of residency, and social. We handed them over and he said we needed to get our veins checked out. I said my friend took phlebotomy and she said I had good veins, just trying to be friendly and start a conversation. He rolls his eyes and said, «well be the judge of that.» Well excuse me!
We sat down in the waiting room and cops was on. Everyone in there looked like they probably came from an episode of cops. About 6 of us got called back to get our veins checked. The asshole Asian dude was there, and he was complaining to the guy checking us that he had no reception, and when he did get reception it was shitty. Umm, aren’t you NOT supposed to be on your phone at work?
The back room we were at had everyone donating plasma. It looked really sketchy. None of the phlebotomists in there looked happy, or like they even cared. 90% of the people donating looked like they were gonna take the money and go buy some dope as soon as they were done. My friend and I decided to leave. We had a really bad feelings and decided that risking getting HIV or hepatitis c was not worth the $ 50. We will not be coming back or recommending this place.

Great place, first 5 times is 50 bucks. After that 20 for your first donation and 40 for your second of the week, this place gives new meaning to blood money.

Absolutely horrible. We were told this process was going to take an hour or two (bit of an inconvenience, but hey — I can deal with it), but ended up waiting nearly 5 freaking hours until we finally decided to just leave without donating. The whole time we were there, it honestly felt like we were being punished for wanting to get a little money for contributing to a good cause.
Oh, and here’s the kicker: After sitting around watching an MSNBC program with the grainiest reception imaginable for about 3 hours or so (my phone was dead shortly after arriving), someone decides to turn on an Xbox 360 I previously didn’t know about, go to the Netflix app, and boot up ‘The Expendables 2′. YOU MEAN TO TELL ME YOU PEOPLE HAD A MULTIMEDIA DEVICE THE WHOLE ENTIRE TIME AND YOU’RE JUST NOW TURNING IT ON!!!
No organization whatsoever among the staff, and is basically a giant circus with drug-​addicts and hoodlums as the main attraction. The only reason I went was because my girlfriend needed a little extra cash for end-​of-​the-​month bills, and I told her I’d do it with her for support. I thank God EVERY day that I’ve never had to sit in a place like that and go stir crazy for hours on end just for a little bit of money.

I donated plasma here for the first time today and i must say its a very fast paced busy environment. You basically have no waiting period. The most i waited was like 5 minutes. Byt maybe it was because i was new. Still i will definately be coming back here. You also get compensated for your time. If youre looking to donate this is a great place to go. Friendly and welcoming enviroment just make sure to have three forms of ID (drivers license, utility bill, and social).
