Great Service:
Thank you for the great service. The book arrived quickly and in new condition.
Poorly Organized:
I used this book while taking a basic phlebotmy class in the summer of 2007. While it got the job done, I found the information to be poorly organized. The chapters are not well put together and there are too many of those little "information" boxes everywhere. I thought the book was confusing. I now have one called Phlebotomy Essentials by Ruth McCall (which my school went back to after only one semester of using the other one) and it is much better. It even has an optional workbook. Hope this helps.
Phlebotomy Handbook: Blood Collection Essentials:
The book seems very up-to-date and will be a helpful study guide for my staff. The questions/tests and CD are a plus.
good book for phelbotomy students:
I think this is a pretty good book for phelbotomy students. The book goes into great depth about various blood tests and the equipment used. The language used was simple enough for laypersons to understand. This book also prepares you for the National exam.
