Barbara patiently tailors her education to the level of her learners. She has the appropriate equipment so we may practice what we've learned. She is very flexible in scheduling of classes. The cost of her classes is less than what others charge. The only drawback is her classroom location is difficult to find using GPS and MapQuest. She is aware of this and promptly answers the phone number given to call if you get lost. I have and will continue to recommend Heart2Heart to my colleages.

I have been coming to the Yanceyville blood donation center for more than 10 years. It is very…read moreconveniently located within 1 mile of my bestie's house, who also happens to be my long-standing blood donation buddy. The staff has always treated us with kindness and professionalism. They take great care of their donors through every step of the process, even if you're deferred for one reason or the other. Special shout-outs to Elizabeth and Star, who took care of us during our most recent donation. The check-in process is very easy, especially if you made an appointment in advance. You can schedule easily through the Blood Donor app. However, they will gladly take walk-ins as well. You can make check-in even shorter by completing your RapidPass ahead of time, which typically hits your inbox first thing the morning of your expected blood donation. You must complete this on the day of your appointment. After check-in, a staff member completes a private health history and mini-physical to determine whether you are eligible to donate blood. Your temperature, pulse, blood pressure, and hemoglobin levels must all be within range to proceed with donating. If any of your values are initially out of range, you will be given a second chance to retest with a different staff member. For example, my pulse was above 100 when I was initially screened during my most recent donation. After sitting quietly for several minutes, a different staff member checked my pulse again, and it fell below 100, so I was eligible to donate! Pro Tip: If you have low hemoglobin (the minimum for women is 12.5 gm/dL), which I have been deferred for in the past, try taking a daily multivitamin at least a week before you're planning to donate. Drinking orange juice with this supplement can also increase absorption. A hand warmer around your thumb is another hack to help elevate levels. You should also drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment, so you're well hydrated. Once you pass the screening, it's time to kick back for the easy part! If you're donating whole blood, the process takes about 8-10 minutes once the needle is inserted. They have TVs in the donation room, so the time passes quickly, especially if you're trying to race your friends to see who can donate the fastest. After donating, you are strongly encouraged to enjoy a snack and a drink while resting in the canteen area. Their snack game is usually pretty strong, with lots of sweet and savory options. I enjoyed some Welch's fruit snacks, Cheez-Its, and water while waiting for our other friends to finish donating. They typically advise waiting about 10 minutes before leaving the premises. After donating, it's very important to drink extra fluids and avoid alcohol consumption for the next 24 hours. My favorite part is that you cannot do any heavy lifting or vigorous exercise for the rest of the day. I highly encourage donating blood with a friend, so that you can increase your good deeds even further! Each donation could help save at least one life, and I can't think of a better reason to give. With the current critical need for blood, the American Red Cross is providing the additional incentive of free A1C testing and $15 e-gift card to a merchant of your choice in the month of August 2026.

As a O+ blood type, I can help so many + people. My friend group likes to come together to donate when our schedules align and then go out for lunch together to celebrate. The process hasn't changed much from what I put below except how they test your iron/hemoglobin. Good news they don't prick your finger anymore, now they use this machine that wraps around your thumb. No pain at all. It takes longer and the reading is a bit inconsistent. Pro tip- heat your hands up before coming in as that helps you get a higher reading (need a 12.5 to donate as a woman). If you score too low first time they will allow you to try the other hand. The staff is all great and makes the process as painless and quick as possible. The snack game here has gotten even better as have the incentives from vendors as the need is so great. Gonna get a $20 Amazon gift card for my successful donation today!

Since I do enjoy taking care of things sooner rather than later, I was putzing around on a Friday looking for said classes the following day, but was coming up empty until I came across CPR Carolina. Upon further inspection, I realized that not only was the schedule amenable, but the location and price of the training were decent as well, and with that - I signed up. A few thoughts. Location: 4 out of 5 Most of the Heartsaver First Aid/Adult and Toddler CPR & AED training sessions seem to be held at the Wingate by Wyndam in Raleigh. Pay special attention as there are multiple locations of this chain, and the one that you're looking for is the one closest to PNC Arena. The physical address can be a bit deceiving too, as the location is nested a little bit off of the main road. The hotel's meeting room was nice enough: standard covered conference chairs and tables, easy access to the restrooms, and coffee/juice in the morning. Structure of Course: 5 out of 5 CPR Carolina has maximized its resources and time to suit a variety of training sessions. For example, I signed up for first aid and adult/child CPR/AED. The first aid session began at 8am, and was done shortly before 11am. At 11am, additional individuals came in just for adult/child CPR/AED, which lasted until ~12:30, which was followed immediately by infant CPR/AED. In other words, if you need the whole spectrum of training, you can sit through one long session. If you only need portions (and some in my group that morning were in this group), you show up at the set time without having to sit through the portion(s) you don't need. Quality of Instruction: 4.5 out of 5 It's my understanding that with AHA, there is an expectation/obligation to watch certain parts of the pre-recorded video, and those parts can be supplemented by the instructor. Bryan made what could have been a very boring and burdensome First Aid course much more enjoyable, and was clear with his speaking and instruction. When it came time for CPR/AED, he was equally as clear with his instructions, and made sure that each person understood what was going on. Price: 5 out of 5 Probably the best bang for the buck (outside of free, which is offered by some FD/PD). The course I took was 50$, and included the use of a loaner book, the First Aid course, and the adult/child CPR/AED course. Other organizations in the area were looking for at least 70$ or 80$ for the same certification, so I feel like I got a better value. Overall: 5 out of 5 Well organized, well taught, and I was able to quickly demonstrate the skills checklist and be on my way.
