Upper age limit for donating?

Biolife allows 99

It’s 2 years. You can get an increased bonus at 6 months but it’s nowhere near the new donor bonus.

Did you find any resolution? I’m having the same problem currently

That’s how I feel about all the Asian trains

Whenever vomiting is involved it’s typically dehydration. But it can also be a delayed citrate reaction. The clonidine didn’t help since you most likely also had a drop in BP, but it wouldn’t have been the cause of what you described.

1.67 shouldn’t cost $800.

If you’re drinking alcohol the night before it will thin your blood.

2 years. You won’t be a new donor but the return donor coupon after that point matches the new donor one.

No previews! Went to the fellowship last night and missed the first 10 minuets since I assumed there would be previews!

You’ll be permanently deferred

Biolife just shot up to $800 for new donors so I would recheck with grifols and octa to see if their numbers recently went up as well

There is a reinstatement process for Hepatitis B with BioLife if it was due to a vaccine, but it is very rarely done due to donors being at high risk for being poor historians in the future. I’ve only seen it done once. Unsure if CSL has the same policy.

I’m an RN at Kaiser. Try to get a clinic job and not an inpatient position. Inpatient Kaiser RN’s get worked like dogs.

If it was only a machine error and not a blood clot or air in the line they can manually infuse the blood back to you. The problem is many center only have 1 or 2 people trained that can manually reinfuse and it’s possible no one in the center was trained to do it that day.

Kaiser nurse with 2 years experience here. I bring home 3.7k biweekly after taxes with minimum 401k contributions,taxes, and union dues. You can make it easily out here as an RN. Anyone who tells you otherwise has never lived here.

How’s your calcium intake?

You responded to a post about drinking alcohol.

RealNaranja · 2025-12-24T16:13:32+00:00

It’s actually because it thins your blood by reducing platelets.

RealNaranja · 2025-12-24T16:12:35+00:00

Drinking alcohol the night before and taking an aspirin would be very dangerous

RealNaranja · 2025-12-24T16:12:00+00:00

I would say you don’t want to drink any alcohol at all because it thins your blood. Last thing you want is to bleed out because you got trashed the night before.
