BS_300L Donor Qualifications Form REV.21.pdfParent Consent Form Revision 8.pdfWHAT TO EXPECT:
Donating blood takes about an hour, and students will receive COMMUNITY SERVICE hours as well as be excused from their class (please choose a class you are doing well in and can afford to miss!). Each donation can save up to 3 lives, and 1 pint is removed from the donors body in a sterile manner.
Before donating, we will make sure you have a form if 16-17, and basic vitals and health history questions will be asked. Heart rates, clotting factors, and blood pressure need to be in a certain range. After screening, donors are brought to a reclining chair, prepped, and then a few vials and a pint of blood are removed for donation to a patient in need.
Donors will be asked to stay in the canteen 15 minutes after their donation is complete to reduce any chances of adverse reaction. Please EAT and HYDRATE well with water the night before and day of donation especially to help your body respond with resilience.
