Nope, I considered it a few times during college, though.
I think that I'm going to start donating blood regularly. They just give you stale cookies for that. =\

Yes. It took about 30-45 minutes. But it will depend on your veins. It didn't hurt but I got this weird taste in the back of my throat when they put the blood back in.
The place I was going to had a program you could participate in (a study) where you'd get a bunch more money if you got the Hep A/B Vaccine and then gave plasma. I just did regular plasma and I believe I got paid around 30-40 a visit.

I think it'll depend on your area. I did it for quite a while (but we're talking 10+ years ago), and got 25-30 a pop. It takes 30-45 minutes, and the only pain you get is from the huge-ass needle going in. After that, it's painless. If you have a fear of needles, this is not the money-maker for you! Just make sure you're well hydrated, and it will go quicker. And be prepared for the metallic taste when they put the red cells back in with the blood thinner. You can go every 3 or so days, since that's how long it takes for your body to replenish your plasma supply. They usually require some basic bloodwork and a visit to their on-side physician before you can donate, so be prepared for that.
It's not a bad way to make some extra money, though it most likely won't pay your rent. They always paid me in cash, but that may have changed, with the economy the way it is... Too much risk of being robbed.

Weird that you posted this thread today. I was just talking with this woman I know about donating plasma yesterday. Hadn't seen her in a while and asked how things were going and she told me she had recently started donating and the money was really helping. She went into great detail about the process. I found it interesting, as I had never heard about getting paid to donate.
Said she gets 50 bucks per visit for the first 5, then 35 bucks for the next 5, then back up to 50 after that. Can go every couple of days, had to wait 8 or 9 hours the first time to see an on-site doctor who checked out a lot of stuff, including looking between fingers and toes for needle marks, can't have more than 6 tattoos and piercings combined, she is going to make an extra 20 bucks a visit if she lets them give her a tetanus shot once a month or something like that, and the only downside for her was the needle mark they leave on her arm after each visit.
Thought it was a strange way to make extra money, but I guess it's a pretty easy way as well. Can make an extra couple hundred bucks a month or so, which isn't all that bad for a few hours of laying on a couch watching tv....though the huge ass needle would make it a bit less fun I think.
Oh, and they pay her with a prepaid VISA card. No cash due to the danger of getting ripped off by the people who hang out around the donation place waiting to attack when you stumble out.

I'm thinking F that. They can take blood from me, collect it in their baggie, then they can split it up into any components they want, it's just not getting put back into me at that point.
I'll give my whole useless blood and that's it.

I'd do it if I could, but I can't even donate blood. I don't know if that's "forever" or just until I have 5 years in remission, but I'm guessing they wouldn't want to risk it.

whats the frequency that you can do it and get paid? also what are some of the restrictions for doing it?
30-40 sounds so tempting for 45 minutes of someone taking blood. being broke is fun!

I did it a half-dozen times, back in college.
I stopped once a 'nurse' tapped my vein with a lead that didn't have a clamp on, and walked away. I bled into a 3-foot wide puddle on the floor, beneath my chair.

Now it's an all in one with lots of disposable tubing. No waiting for someone else to come hook you up. Back when my work schedule was more flexible, I could do it 2 or 3 times a week. Now, they only day I could go would be Saturday, and they're only open half a day, and it's their busiest day. So I don't bother anymore. Instead I donate whole blood every 8 weeks. I don't get "paid" for it, as such, but they do send me restaurant gift certificates, and sometimes I get a t-shirt! LOL

I cant give blood any more and that sucks. In the US, they dont want my blood because i lived in the UK during the 80's and thus might have been exposed to CJD, in the UK they just dont want my blood. Something to do with lithium or something...

odd thing is, after I posted my bad plasma experience, I looked up the local whole blood drives in my area. I think it's time I start doing that.

I looked into stuff too, and apparently despite being a universal recipient for whole blood, for plasma specifically I'm the universal donor... which means I can only get my type of plasma. Which means I'd better start donating if I ever feel like getting plasma that matches.

If you get paid it's not donating. Also they can't transfuse any donations that are paid for. They go to Pharmaceutical companies.

Oh, looked it up. Just hadn't realized that whenever they talk about the standard donor/recipient they're only talking about PRCs and not whole blood. Makes sense that way, just also didn't know that the plasma is pretty much reverse rules for RBCs in terms of antibodies etc.
I'm AB, so guess I can take any red cells but only AB's plasma, and therefore whole blood. And here I thought I was a useless donor!

If you give regularly. A few years back I gave three times in one year and got a t-shirt. If I were just trying to get a lame t-shirt, getting stabbed in the arm wouldn't be my first choice in going about it.
.. That said, most phlebotomists are pretty hot, around here. ... they can even find a vein better than a lot of the registered nurses.

People really need to get over the whole "sell" issue for life saving tissues and organs.
It's damn near illegal for me tell my bone marrow, for instance. I'll gladly help out someone who needs it without demanding pay. I'm in the registry, after all. However, if some billionaire discovers that I'm a match, I don't know why I shouldn't be able to receive payment for it... *shrug*

They started the rules in the 80s because of diseases. Now they could probably allow selling because of the advancements in disease testing but it's momentum at it's finest.

the collection facility is going to make money on it, even though they are non profit, and then the hospital is going to make money on it, so i don't see why the person who actually donates shouldn't make something too

I agree though we make enough to cover costs it's not like anyone in our organization is getting rich off it.

they do good things but but people are still making some really good money
"The second worst offender this year is Marsha J. Evans, President and CEO of the American Red Cross...for her salary for the year ending in 2009 was $651,957 plus expenses. Enjoys 6 weeks - fully paid holidays including all related expenses during the holiday trip for her and her husband and kids. including 100% fully paid health & dental plan for her and her family, for life. This means out of every dollar they bring in, about $0.39 goes to related charity causes."

Done it about 20 times, I'd say. Pay varied from 15-50 dollars depending on the specials and stuff.
Decent way to make money, but can be painful if you're tiny.

No, just donated blood all the time. They liked my A-.
I stopped when I hit the gallon club twice. I even donated once on the indoor M*A*S*H set for some special blood drive. Being on a stretcher in the OR was surreal. Klinger visited that day.

I have thought of doing this just in case I need to fake my death at some point.

You know I probably would sell mine if a collection site was close. My area is covered up by a company called the Blood Connection and they are non-profit and only take donations. Damned good causes.
