Questions about donating PLASMA?

i know its a bad reason but i need money :( plus...it saves lives sooo we all win! anyway....does it hurt? i mean..does it hurt more than when they take your blood?? is the needle the same size? if i have a good vein that they always take blood from should i use that one? what can i expect. any answers are appreciated
Answer:
my son did this for the cash also. lol, are you college age also? he said it didn't hurt anymore than giving blood. it did however take a very long time. (can't remember for sure but I think it was like 2 hours) because he is impatience, he hasn't done it again. good luck to you.
When I did it they explained the needle was a bit larger than donating blood..they have to have the big, round ,red blood cells come out unobstructed. It did not hurt but takes at least 1.5 hours, they take out whole blood (more thana "pint") and they put it back minus the
plasma stuff they need. They won't let you fall asleep! It's more of a medical procedure it seems. Pay is good for the first 2, then it went down as a "regular". Hummm?!Eat before hand.
