Hi all.
I wasn't sure which category to put this in so I just thought this would be right.

There's a blood donation soon at the high school where I live and I was thinking
about donating for the first time. I just wanted to know some of the questions that
they ask the donors and how long the whole process usually takes. Thanks in advace
=D

Good for you! Donating blood is a fantastic way to help the health industry and people in need. Here is a link to the guidelines for blood donation, according to the American Red Cross:

I dontated blood a few months ago; make sure you tell the nurses if you start to feel dizzy or otherwise unwell. They are well trained and will take excellent care of you if you need it.
