4.0 out of 5 stars
Lots of ovelap,
By Nicotsu ""Nicole"" (Edmonton AB CAN) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Contemporary Maternal-Newborn Nursing (7th Edition) (Hardcover)
This is a good text book to have on hand if you want to learn med-surg of pregnancy and labour. However, preconception and antenatal info is better had from gynecological societies' latest publications, as well as the childhood content
I found with this text book there was a lot of overlap, I felt as I read through the chapters I was reading the same few concepts over and over again, so if you like reiteration, this book is for you, but it is far from concise. Its organization is also flawed. First you read about healthy mom, then healthy baby, then healthy labour and delivery, than complications from many specific points in pregnancy, each having their own chapter, each with lots of overlap. A good introduction to infant maternal care but definately not for the nurse who already knows a fair bit about the field.

This review is from: Workbook for Contemporary Maternal-Newborn Nursing (Paperback)
I recieved this Workbook within 2 days of the purchase and it was in perfect condition. It was also much cheaper than it would have been if I had bought it from the college bookstore. The workbook is an excellent companion with the text!!! Very happy customer!!
