Why new tech is doing this blood drive? New tech is doing this blood drive because we would like to give back to our community, there are always people that need blood for their procedures. We have been learning how to take EKGs and blood pressure during class so that we can take part into this blood drive.
Reasons people give blood? - Its a good deed. -To help people that need it more than them. -Some people believe it is a good deed. - A friend/family member asked them to.
How long will it take to give blood? The entire process of donating blood takes up to 30-45 minutes. What's even better, is that the needle prick only lasts a second and obtaining your blood only takes about eight minutes.
