What is it close to giving blood?

I am donating blood tomorrow for the first time. How long does it take? and is it painful? Thanks
Answers:    Congratulations! It only hurts a tiny bit when they put the syringe in.
getting you on the cot and everything connected. Also, you need
to allow 15 minutes after at a table (juice, cookies), so they can be sure you won't giddy.
Relax and realize what a good thing you're doing!
The vampires poke you, you sit there for no more than ten minutes, they confer you a cookie. It's DELIGHTFUL. It hurts no more than getting blood drawn by a doctor or nurse if you have ever had it done. If you haven't, well, it hurts smaller amount than a shot. Virtually painless. Enjoy your cookie.
