  • The Good: They pay you. The Bad: Everything else. After coming here, you will endure any and everything UBS, ARC, and any other non-profit and whatever they will put you through, and also gain an unyielding appreciation for their professionalism, care/concern for your own well-being, and plain ole' amenities like those tiny bottles of water. So here at TPS they pay you here for your plasma. What you get depends on how much you can give, according to gender/weight. It's like 40-60$ or so, I think. It may or may not be worth it to you, depending on your financial situation, or how much you time you have to waste, especially during your initial visit. The first time takes about four-six hours, because they have to give you a physical and fill out an extensive questionnaire, et. cetera. Not to mention they are absurdly slow and unabashedly unconcerned with wasting your time. After that they are supposed to be a lot quicker about it. You are allowed to 'donate' (sell) two times per week. You are not allowed to do much after they stick you. You are "permitted" to read a book but the tvs they have blaring Jerry Springer (and other similar programming) does not allow you to concentrate very much unless you are monk or monk-like. You are not permitted to have earbuds in to cancel out that noise. You are not allowed to close your eyes or cross your feet. Let me repeat that again: you are not permitted, even though you are obviously a grown adult, to cross your feet. Closing your eyes may make sense; they don't want to be worried about checking several 'donors' who may or may not be sleeping if they are still living or not, liability and all that shit, but crossing your feet(?). What. The. Fuck. You will be given no squeeze ball. You will not get your arm wrapped -- even though a hole in your arm was created for a good while (an hour?). No cookie, no water. Not even an insincere thank you. Nada. You get a code to go to a ATM-like machine and get your cash money. Then you can sign up for a specific date/time to do it again, if you are a masochist. Or REALLY need the money. I recommend this to anyone who thinks that donating at United Blood Services is rough or unpleasant; you will never look at UBS the same again after Talecris. WARNING: You may kiss your phlebologist at UBS the next time you donate after coming to Talecris. - E
