If you live in certain parts of Lehigh Acres they are doing a bus expansion to see where people need rides. See what the deals are on Ultra bus for Lee county. https://www.leegov.com/leetran/ultra They had a thing going when I went. I paid a $1.50 for a ride from Williams Park to One blood. Made a $100 after 3 hrs of sitting. Then paid another $1.50 to get home. Hopefully they are still offering it for you.

I had a mess of an intake mainly because I had a huge hole in my arm from an ER visit that very…read moremorning. This naturally sent everyone into stage four panic alert because the natural assumption MUST be made that I am a raving mad needle injecting drug madman out to get 40 some bucks by being scrutinized like a lab hampster! To make matters worse, the papers I had from the ER visit were incomplete! So I signed a paper to have the hospital disclose and left for another appointment and by the end of THAT I was ready to throw in the towel but instead I dragged myself back in and I sure glad I did! It didn't take long for me to realize after reading reviews on the company in other locales that there is a "type" of person who visits here and I fit the bill exactly in spite of being the exact opposite OF that "type"(no judgments just reality). Story of my life. Regardless of the ordeal I was treated with respect the whole time and all staff/techs/nurses(shout out to Jorge)/lovely Doctor managed to navigate me through the insanity that is company policies and over regulation by government and I managed to donate my first unit of plasma! There were too many redundancies, computer glitches and threading all these regulations to call it "efficient" but the human experience was well worth it! My highlight of the eve was the joyous shout of a young Autistic fellow periodically reasuring me that we where all in this together :) Some tips from experience: Come in with expectations of a long first day of intake and bring everything you'll need. It worked out to about 8 dollars an hour my first day mostly my own fault(I blew it...no, literally, I blew my own vein out). Once you learn the system you could potentially be in and out in less than 2 hours. So about 20 bucks an hour for 16 hours a month. It wont make you DJ Trump but its comfortable compensation. We are in SW Florida. Every business that is good is GOING to be understaffed and Staff are GOING to be underpaid in my esteem. Just do your best to make their lives easier and we all win. Final thoughts: The facility was clean, well designed and comfortable. The computers were a bit buggy, laggy and amazingly redundant but serviceable. Would recommend.

The staff here is very nice and efficient and the facility is modern and well designed. Importantly for us, they've dropped the masking requirement.

But the lady that did my initial injection to set the draw, she told me that if anything didn't feel right to let her know. Sure enough 15 mins into my donation my line clogs up so I'm pumping my fist but not getting anywhere for a really long time. So I told them not once, not twice, but 5 different times, to the point where I was in tears out of pure frustration with the situation. They stuck me twice in the end and neither one worked. Now Ive donated here in the past without issue. But I don't know if it was the phlebotomist or the equipment they use or a combo of both. But needless Im freaking traumatized all for $45.

Sometimes even though you checked in on the app you have to redo it from standing in line for so long.
