    Donation complete - September 2021
    Heather S.

    Ever since my Mom needed multiple blood transfusions while undergoing cancer treatment, I promised myself I would pay it forward. Since April 2021, I've been committed to being an ongoing blood donor (every 56 days or so). It also became a good way for me to 'give back' to our community. I was here to donate in April 2021 and everyone working was nice, welcoming, and friendly. They took extra precautions to ensure I felt safe and looked after while donating. Although I donate closer to my house (Red Cross visits the Centennial Hills Library) on a regular basis, one can easily sign up for a donation through the app and complete their rapid pass to expedite the process once you become a regular donor. Across the country, they are still experiencing a pretty severe blood shortage. Per the Red Cross website, the low blood supply levels "have forced some hospitals to defer patients from major surgery, including organ transplants." Since blood can't be made or manufactured, patients literally depend on blood donors for their lives. Thus, I think it's important for those to know more about the blood donation process. Blood is essential to help a variety patients survive surgeries, cancer treatment, chronic illnesses, and traumatic injuries. In fact, one blood donation could help up to THREE patients! That's a huge impact! If you've considered donating, now more than ever is a great time to do it. It's a phenomenal way to give back without having to pull from personal financial sources. Hot Tips: You must wait at least eight weeks (56 days) between donations of whole blood. You want to drink A LOT of water the day you donate. A good portion of the blood donated is made up of water, so be sure to drink water before and after donating. Visit the Red Cross website to learn about more tips and information on your own personal eligibility to donate.

    I recently took my BLS, ACLS & PALS with this facility. My friend recommended them to me and they…read moregive the best rate compared to most places in the Valley. So if you schedule your ACLS & PALS with them at the same time, you get your BLS for free which I think is an amazing deal! They also provide you with the latest books if you don't have them. Our instructor for our PALS class was Michael and he did such an amazing job simplifying everything and making a very long class interesting and easy to remember. He was also very approachable and made use of our time wisely! Kids are not my strong suit but he made me want to work with kids after the class was over. Haha. I retained more information taking this class over any other PALS class I've done in the past. Highly recommend taking his class! On the contrary, our instructor for our ACLS class was all over the place. I don't remember her name but she was a total opposite of Michael. It just felt so disorganized and confusing at times. I still understood everything bc I've taken ACLS a handful of times prior but I can tell that those who were taking it for the first time all looked lost and confused.

    This CPR class was so good! I learned way more than at my last class two years ago. The instructor…read morereally took the time to make sure we knew what we were doing. Everything was presented professionally and clearly. Rose (the instructor) was fantastic!!! Thank you so much!

    How is this Flex Ed? They do a total of 6 classes a month! Only 1 or 2 classes a week. I need to…read moretake ACLS renewal, but they ONLY have 2 classes, and they are BOTH on Wednesday...how is that flexible? 1 is already full, there is no problem filling them. You either need to hire at least 1 more person to double your classes, or change your name to IDTVM ED (I don't teach very much) ED. If you don't provide the service you can't get the stars!

    So this was my first time taking a class @ Flex Ed & it was through work. We have an education…read morebuilding that our classes are held in, not sure why TNCC wasn't being held there & they were using Flex Ed this time around? I always get a little nervous when having to take a class for one of my nursing certs @ a new place with instructors I've never had before. As you can see I'm giving Flex Ed 5 stars & highly recommend coming here for your educational needs. I registered to renew my TNCC cert. through work back in March for a one day class in Sept. I was hearing from co-workers that the one day renewal was hard & decided to switch to the 2 day certification class but I wasn't able to switch it because it said it was full through my work education app. I stopped by one morning on my way home from work to pick up my TNCC book because I wanted to get started in reviewing. The hours are posted outside the door saying its not opened until 9am but it was open you just have to ring a little buzzer. Someone let me inside & I went to the counter & told the lady I was there to pick up my TNCC book. She looked me up & couldn't' find me listed for the class. I was like "I signed up back in March" & showed her my copy of my registration & she told me she didn't know what she was looking at. She mentioned that Justin didn't usually release the participants of the class till about 30 days before it starts. I was there less then the 30 days. I was a little annoyed because I basically wasted a trip out there & I wasn't able to get my book to get studying. I asked the lady if there was any room in the 2 day class & she told me "yes." I asked her if she could switch me cause @ my job it says its full. Well guess they close the classes apx. 30 days before it starts so no one can sign up for it. She tried calling Justin (I believe he's the IT manager ??) to see if he could sign me up for the 2 day class & he didn't answer. He actually called me later. After jumping through a few hoops he was able to get me signed up for the 2 day class. I had a co-worker who let me borrow his TNCC book & when I brought it home & hunted for my TNCC book from 4 years ago I realized it was the same edition so I didn't need to run back to Flex Ed to get my book. I was dreading the 2 day class. Hours listed was Thursday & Friday 7:30am-6:30pm. Those are long days of sitting in a classroom & listening to lectures. Well it actually ended up not being bad @ all & the days went by fast. I never once fell asleep in class....lol We had more then one instructor & they were all great & knowledgeable. They even brought us bagels the first day, had snacks for us after lunch & pastries the next day for breakfast. Super sweet!! Thank you again!! I brought a cooler bag with some drinks & snacks for myself and I had planned on going out for lunch on the first day as there are many places close by to grab something to eat. Some are within walking distance such as McDonalds, Dell Taco, The Cracked Egg, Joe Philly's (Italian rest. which supposedly has a $5 pizza slice & drink special but they take a long time) & French Gourmet. We got an hour each day so plenty of time. They have vending machines too. They only take change/cash no credit cards. I believe the sodas were only $1.00...awesome sauce! Coke products. The only thing I was bummed about is that they don't have a refrigerator for us to use & store our lunch in for those who want to bring their own food/drinks. It was interesting to learn that a few of the nurses in the class were from Cali & one from Reno so not everyone is from Vegas. One of our instructors was also from Cali. They all had a pretty extensive nsg background with lots of diff. nsg specialities over their nsg career. They knew what they were talking about for sure! They were clear, spoke in a normal paced manner & used a Power Point slide presentation but it was made from TNCC & they mentioned they were not allowed to add their own slides. They did share some handouts with us. The first day of TNCC we had lecture for the beginning of the day & towards the end of the day we did some stations, hands-on in small groups. We learned/reviewed some stuff such as how to inject an IO, take off a helmet, take a child out of a car seat, inserting OPA's & NPA's. Then we went into a separate classroom in our group & did a hands on TNP. We each had to do one then we did them as a group taking turns on the process. This really helped for the day when we each had to do our own TNP part for the test. Our instructors were Pat H., Tina, Pat S., Carrie & Mitch. Mitch was new & was getting tested on his lecturing. You could tell he was very nervous when he was giving his lecture to us (which I would have been too!) but I didn't see any nervousness when he was helping with the hands on stations. It was a great 2 days & it went by fast. I highly recommend coming here for your educational needs, you won't regret it!!! Thanks again!! :-)
