“Quality, safety, and education issues were obviously very much a part of the authors’ agenda. I was pleased to see the authors concentrate efforts on why procedures and techniques are performed a certain way. I believe that understanding why we do things a certain way makes for less deviation from established protocols.”—Carol Becker, MS, MLS(ASCP), Program Director, School of CLS/School of HT, OSF Saint Francis Medical Center, Peoria, IllinoisRely on this comprehensive resource to master the techniques required to safely obtain quality specimens and to understand the whys as well as the hows.Their 3rd Edition reflects current CLSI standards and offers greater emphasis on quality assessment and preanalytical considerations.

This was our required reading textbook for a community college phlebotomy class. It was a good guide for begginers, but if you'd want to become certified I'd reccomend getting supplemental material as well.
I found this textbook to be a real bonus for my phlebotomy class. It had plenty of illustrations that complememnted the text. I wound up getting an A in the class so I think the book is worth the money!
Even though my phlebotomy class changed to a different book right before class started ... I read a lot of this book it has great detail diagrams and definitions! This book has a great layout! also, i ordered a used one and it was in AMAZING shape! Not a mark one on it and the disk had not been open !
So far everything is great about this textbook. Only down side is that the CD-ROM that came with it doesn't work. Apparently it's a common issue. Most of the other students in this course that have tried downloading it have the same issue. I would have liked to use it for studying. I did email the support address listed on the book and CD-ROM but I have not heard anything back from them. That was over 3 weeks ago and even resent the email thinking it may not have been received. No word yet.(Jan. 2015)UPDATES::: MARCH 2015After being in this book for about 8 weeks now. It has come to my and several others attention that this book and the CD-ROM has several errors and mistakes.I think it should be reviewed by the writers and publishers. Several of the study practices in the cd have wrong answers as correct and vice versa. Many of the study question at the end of each chapter have answers that are not in the book, or are also listing the correct answer as incorrect. This is very frustrating as a student we rely on the inform provided by the text and the instructors knowledge as well. It gives me absolutely no confidence in using this textbook as a study aid for the national exam. For right now I have to use it to finish up the course. I would advise students and schools to better review the choice of text being chose and quality of information
Why go to a college book store and spend a fortune when you might as well order here. This book help through the phlebotomy program as well as the certification exam ( passed on the first try with this book!)
Great buy. Showed up quickly and as described. This book has been very beneficial in my Phlebotomy class. Additionally, the CD that came with my book had been a great tool for learning. You are able to take practice tests, quizzes, and it has other options for helping you study. Highly recommended.
It was a required purchase for my class this year. Much better than the last edition. It has defined bullet points that answers the questions in each chapter quickly. It also comes with an interactive CD-ROM that makes it great for studying.
I needed this book for class so I ordered it. It came in a very timely maner and it was in great conditon. So if you need it get it.
