My local plasma center uses a small square gauze directly over the puncture site, which is secured in place by a stretchy, elastic banding that is wrapped around the arm in a criss-cross fashion. I assume that most plasma centers use a similar, or maybe identical, method.
One employee at my plasma center told me to keep my arm wrapped for 1 hour after donation. A different employee told me that it should be in place for 4 hours.
What is the correct recommended amount of time?
4 hours,to be perfectly safe…
if your were recommended 4 hours,you shouldn’t take it off before that

I would like to donate my eggs to stem cell research because I can’t donate eggs to fertility clinics. Where can I do this? I looked on Google but couldn’t find anything.
You cant. Its embryos that are donated, not eggs. And embryos used in embryonic stem cell research can only be embryos that were originally created for use in IVF, but were left over and unused.
You CAN sign up for the bone marrow registry, or donate cord blood if you are preg. And in that way, you would be contributing to adult stem cell research. If you are planning on going through IVF you can donate the left over embryos.
You could probably donate your eggs privately to someone looking to go through IVF who needs donor eggs.

I was wondering that also…I assumed that it goes to the party. But this was just my thought and I don’t claim to know the answer.

I have a couple of the receipts they give you when you donate items, and I just wanted to know where to claim them on the 1040.
You do not claim the donations on form 1040. You claim them on Schedule A under Gifts to Charity. You can do this only if you are itemizing your deductions. If you are taking a standard deduction then you cannot claim your donations.
I know someone who works there and once someone donates he packs it up and turns around and sells it for profit. He doesn’t know I know this. Is this right?
Of course it is against the law. It is stealing.
Once the goodwill place comes into possession of a donation, (be it either by going and collecting it, or from it being left on their premises), it then is the property of goodwill.
This is no different than if I were an employee at walmart and when the supply truck came in with new merchandise, I decided to take some of it and sell it on my own — totally illegal.
The person should be reported, charged with theft, and terminated.
