Please take this virtual tour to get a sneak peek of one of our Plasma Donation Centers.

Every day, the donors you meet will motivate you. The high-quality plasma you collect becomes life‑changing medicine. A commitment to customer service and quality is expected. You will report to the Plasma Center Manager and perform as a Medical Support Specialist (Plasma Center Nurse) to support plasma center operations.

You will determine donor eligibility, manage donor adverse events, review laboratory test results, and notify donors of unsuitable test results. The Medical Support Specialist works under the guidance of the Center Manager or Assistant Manager and under the management of the Center Physician for medical issues. Familiarity with plasma collection regulations or a manufacturing environment is required.

• Determine donor eligibility, including proper consent, education, medical history interview, physical examination, blood testing, and reviewing Serological Protein Electrophoresis (SPE).
• Evaluate donor reactions per facility SOPs and follow medical emergency procedures including development of physician standing orders and donor transport.
• Consult with the Center Physician or Medical Affairs on unacceptable donor findings or medical/technical guidance.
