As I entered the building, I was immediately greeted by the security guard. After checking my identification, he directed me to the donation room. As I entered the donation area, I was once again, immediately greeted. Each person with which I interacted was VERY professional and courteous. I was seen almost immediately (in advance of my appointment time). The technician that took care of me (Ms. S) was one of the fastest and most polite people I have ever had the fortune with which to work (not that I did much). Her donation stick was painless and fast. She explained each step of the process and what to do and expect post donation. The 'recovery' canteen was bountiful. I took in my share of cookies and juices. Upon my departure, I was thanked again and given a t-shirt.

This past weekend I went to the American Red Cross's Mt. Hope facility to donate blood. I want to…read moreapplaud the women working there for their knowledge and professionalism. I am a regular donor, so I use the American Red Cross app to make my appointment, and to fill out the Rapid Pass before I got to the facility. Everything was a breeze from checking in with the volunteer at the front desk, through the process of getting my vitals and making sure I had the requisite level of iron needed to donate. I came in to make a Power Red donation but did not have a high enough number, but I was still able to donate whole blood. The process took about an hour, and you get cookies, water, and cranberry juice to boot. In this season of giving, I implore you to give the gift of life through a blood donation to the American Red Cross, especially if you have a blood type that is rarer than others.

Gave her my money, got no email confirmation of the course. The address listed was not the address for the course. I have to contact her the morning of the event because the address on the website is a hotel, and they have no idea who this person is. Her official number is not accepting message. Luckily she had texted me from her burner phone, so I had that number, then she calls me back (20 minutes after the class is supposed to start), and says it is at the local library. I get there, and there is one other poor victim there with me. It is immediately obvious that she does not know anything about ACLS. The other RN and I are just flabbergasted. There is no equipment. She left halfway through the course to run errands while we watched videos and took the written test. The megacode was us sitting around the table and talking it through. Now it is nearly a month later, and her burner phone that she actually answered has been disconnected. I called AHA and they can't do anything to help me. I am filing a complaint with AHA. AHA gave me two numbers of companies that she is supposed to be affiliated with, Tidewater Community College and First Response Advantage. First Response says they have not been affiliated with her since 5/2018, and Tidewater CC has already received 3 other calls inquiring about this person, and the person I need to talk to is on vacation until next week. DO NOT GIVE THIS PERSON YOUR MONEY!!

She never provided the course materials and did not reply to my many attempts to schedule the course. Ultimately I had to schedule through another business to certify. Ms. Morrisey has refused to reimburse me the full cost ($185), and has ignored my repeated e-mails, phone calls, voice-mails, and text messages. I contacted the American Heart Association, who stated that Ms. Morrisey is not even approved to teach the course. She is a scammer and a thief.

I went to one class and immediately saw all of the red flags!!!! I guess you get what you pay for…read moreafter all.....First, on the website it states you will get a lab coat, text book and study guide. However, we were given copies of copies (yes-i know sounds crazy.) but, yes the ink was faint and Gray. As a study guide which only included words and definitions. Nothing remotely close to what would be on a national exam. They had a Ten Commandments of phlebotomy that we had to take turns reading... myself and the two other students in the class. Just three of us. That stated things like, "Thy shall know when to quit." I wish I could attach photos to this review to show everyone. Also, the text book we were told be a E-book but it wasn't even that. It was a older text book from six years ago that was scanned or copied into a computer and sent as a PDF file. The pages weren't even aligned properly and it was only seven chapters, that they expected us to print at 27 pages a chapter. Also, I was told no lab coat but we get a pin. Mr. Davies was the instructor who barely could pronounce some of the medical terminology in class and had on a ID tag that said lab Corp. Who told us after one class of basically just talking and waiting for a fourth student that didn't arrive until an one and a half into a two hour only class- that next class the second class with no medical training or practice on a mannequin as of yet... would be sticking each other. That's when I knew I had call and express my concerns the next day to the woman who I spoke to upon enrollment. Ms. Tee who text messaged me that I was moving to fast and that I didn't need a whole book and that I would get what I needed in notes. Also, that they never give out lab coats or a hard text book. So I took a screen shot of the website and sent it to her. She responded she wouldn't go back and fourth with me and to call her. When I called her she told me I should drop out of the class- so I asked for a refund which she said no. I would never get my money back. Since I went to one class and $575 wouldn't make or break their company. Before she hung up on me.. then I was called by a man named Mr.Lee who told me he was the director and to give them a chance if he got my a book. I relied no thank you I didn't feel comfortable and then he said If he returned my money that it be fees deducted. It wasn't until I mentioned the better business bureau and reporting the company for fraud that he sent me a full refund via PayPal. I really wish I could share the text messages and emails from this company if you can even call it that. ITS A SCAM!!! The Belair location is literally in a basement. They lie and make the price low so that people will sign up and don't give what's promised. Also, they put students who have no experience in positions to harm one another. No way someone without experience or knowledge of anatomy and physiology should be sticking each other on day 2. It's reckless and in my opinion they basically sell certifications. A class that is twice a week for 4 weeks at only two hours a class- should be conducted in a more professional manner. Making printer copies of vocabulary words isn't preparation for a national exam. And scanning documents from a out dated textbook and calling it an E-book is insane!! The only reason I even attended this school was the Red Cross no longer offers classes and it was near by. Lesson learned!!! IF YOU VALUE YOU QUALITY EDUCATION- PICK A REAL SCHOOL WITH A LAB AND QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
