    10/05/23 - Thursday I think this was my second time donating blood at this location. They only do the platelets by appointment only. I donated a whole blood earlier!

    Donated bc I'm heathy & wanted to be brave and potentially helpful to others during the COVID-19 pandemic 2/27/21

    As of 2/27/21, when I donated blood at this particular American Red Cross, this location has an overall 3 stars. This rating is accurate. I've donated at makeshift blood banks that were better than this brick and mortar. POSITIVES + nice staff & volunteers + free parking + free snacks & drinks after your donation + everything is wiped down as soon as donors leave the area + clothes & shoes donation receptical NEGATIVES - somewhat confusing signage... all donors including whole blood donors were to "follow the blue line on the floor to the back of the building." They meant ground, not floor. The faded, half-existant blue line doesn't lead right up to the door for entry. You'll probably figure it out, though. - not very inviting - not only do you check your temperature at the entrance via a touchless camera-like piece of equipment, but you'll also be prompted to lift your tongue for an under-the-tongue thermometer... duplicity during COVID-19 may very well be necessary, but then again, is it really? - grungy, worn-down facility with one bathroom at the back for all to share... definitely could be worse, but could easily be better too Haratch and Armand were the two main workers who assisted me. Five stars to them. The facility could use some love.

    I had an appointment and ended up getting called in after an hour and a half. Mind you, it was only me and one other older gentleman waiting. There were multiple workers so it wasn't a short staff issue. Fast forward to me donating blood - I typically donate 2-3 times a year and I HAVE NEVER EVER gotten someone who stuck me so terrible with a needle before in my life. Check out the picture. -1000/10. There are better places to go. There is not one good thing I can say about this place.

    I can say I feel assured that I can save a life somewhere maybe on some yelp event when someone else is choking for dear life! I feel so comfortable to do it just because of what great classes and teaching was given at this location. The class started from 8:00A.M - 5:00 P.M I signed up to get certified in: Standard First Aid AED- Adult CPR- Adult CPR- Child CPR- Infant All these classes were in a pretty large group of people and also the test that is given after each section is an oral one by the teacher. Simple and also you will have to be able to perform CPR on the fake dummy. I signed up online which was really simple and wasn't at all hard but to find this class was a little bit on the confusing side. But just ask someone in the front to direct where to go! We did also get a 30 min. lunch break and a two 10 min breaks. Everything was learning and practice and also watching videos made it more comfortable! :) The certificate is going to be given to you after the class and you will have it printed out and it won't expire till 2 years ! :) Take a class to save a life.

    I survived the Las Vegas mass shooting on October 1, 2017. When I asked a therapist what most survivors do on the 'anniversary' date, she gave me examples but told me to do what I felt honored that day. I felt that giving blood was the best way to honor the 58 lost, so I made my appointment for October 1, 2018. I was a bit emotional and Patricia was so understanding and so patient. I'll never forget her calm demeanor and kindness that day. She made my donation appointment as painless as possible (all the way around) and I made another appointment on my birthday. I hope to come and donate every October 1st and every birthday from here on out...and every so often in between! A huge thanks to Patricia for her 'bedside manner' a few months ago. Great staff definitely makes the process much easier and is very much appreciated!

    State board exam.

    I attended one of the accelerated courses at CIEMT and left with the worst impression of the EMS…read morefield. Matt and a few other instructors make it seem like its a burden to have to help students. A lot of the equipment is also old and broken and students are then blamed for it. I honestly did not feel like anyone at CIEMT wanted me to succeed. The entire experience felt like I was being hazed. Being yelled at and demeaned is not a bug but a feature of CIEMT. Do not attend this school if you want to have a good experience learning. I promise you that you will regret it. Do not be fooled by the low program cost. I ended up taking another EMT class at UCLA and I passed without any issues. Please take your hard earned money elsewhere.

    AVOID THIS SCHOOL. I chose this EMT program after doing thorough research it seemed like a great…read morefit. I went to their website and registered for the June course, paid the $250 fee, and only then noticed I had been enrolled in the May session instead. I never even viewed the May option, and this all happened within two minutes. I immediately registered again this time correctly for the June course. Since it was late at night, I couldn't call right away, but I contacted the school the next day to explain the situation and request a refund for the mistaken May enrollment. The woman I spoke with was incredibly rude, dismissive, and repeatedly blamed me, refusing to even hear me out. She said it's my fault and that it's none refundable and that I singed it. She made it clear that they wouldn't help. So, I had no choice but to dispute the charge with my bank. Then today, I received an email saying I was being refunded for the June class the one I actually wanted and was told I'm no longer welcome at their school for making a false dispute which is not true. Meanwhile, three of my friends registered with me, and after hearing about this experience, they've decided to go elsewhere. So congratulations you kept $250, but lost four students. I will be exploring legal action due to your unprofessional conduct and the clear issues with your glitchy website. Future students, do yourself a favor and find a school that actually cares.
