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

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.
