Ensure a confident transition from classroom to clinic with this proven, approachable phlebotomy resource. Phlebotomy Essentials, Seventh Edition easily instills the core knowledge and clinical understanding behind safe, effective patient communication and interaction.
Enhanced with new images, a more efficient design, and new contributions from leading subject matter experts, this updated edition details how today’s phlebotomists work in an approach optimized for how today’s students learn. Combined with an optional Workbook, Exam Review book, and updated digital courseware, the latest edition of Phlebotomy Essentials represents a cornerstone of preparation for a successful career in phlebotomy.
Phlebotomy Essentials remains one of the most comprehensive texts I’ve used for teaching safe and effective blood collection techniques. It’s clear, well-structured, and essential for both students and trainers.
I recently published a practical companion blog post that walks through the step-by-step process of drawing blood, especially useful for learners who want to visualize and practice techniques at home. It complements this book perfectly.
Required textbook for a regionally accredited college phlebotomy course. Excellent visuals and straightforward guidance. One particularly useful feature, it has picture lists of common phlebotomy tubes and other necessary materials by manufacturer.
I read the entire book before my phlebotomy class and reread the assigned sections during class. It was an easy read - helpful and informative and I will be going through parts of it again in preparation for the national exam.
