Living in Buffalo, NY
Buffalo lives large for nurses who want Rust Belt grit with real waterfront revival. Picture post-shift drinks on Elmwood Village patios, weekend escapes to Niagara Falls just down the road, and living costs about 4% below the national average. Lake-effect snow is real—so is the community that digs out together.

More about Kedrion Biopharma
The company operates across multiple countries including Italy, Germany, Austria, Portugal, Poland, Switzerland, and Hungary, with KEDPLASMA plasma collection centers in the United States, including the Buffalo, New York location. Kedrion's Buffalo facility operates as a plasma donation center where nurses work as Plasmapheresis Specialists performing venipuncture, monitoring donors during apheresis procedures, administering immunizations, and ensuring regulatory compliance. For nursing professionals, Kedrion offers a specialized clinical environment distinct from traditional hospital or acute care settings. Nurses at KEDPLASMA centers focus on donor care, plasmapheresis procedures using Haemonetics Autopheresis machines, donor education, and sample collection rather than traditional patient care. The role requires an active RN license and CPR certification, with preferred phlebotomy experience. The company emphasizes ethical conduct, compliance with SOPs and OSHA guidelines, and the social value of plasma-derived therapies, giving nurses a clear sense of purpose in supporting treatments for serious chronic conditions.
Kedrion's mission centers on the social value of plasma processing for treating chronic, life-altering diseases. The company invests in people, innovation, and research to support medical and scientific communities and patient organizations. Core values include transparency, integrity, and loyalty in business conduct. Kedrion endorses the UN Global Compact's 10 principles and OECD guidelines for multinational companies, and maintains a formal Ethics Policy and Code of Conduct requiring all employees to act at the highest standards of ethical, moral, and legal conduct.
