5.0 out of 5 stars
Won't disappoint,
By Kim M. (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Electronic Fetal Monitoring: Concepts and Applications (Paperback)
This book is easy to read and provides plenty of examples. I used it as one of my reference books to study for the NCC "added certification in fetal monitoring" exam just a few months ago. Also, in my role as a Staff Developer / Unit Educator for a high volume hospital (6000+ deliveries a year), I recently used the book as a reference when I updated our new Labor & Delivery RN course.Kim M., RNC, BSN

Excellent,
By Suzanne Morris, MD (Northern California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Electronic Fetal Monitoring: Concepts and Applications (Paperback)
A well written concise reference. Current, informative and a must have for those of us working in obstetrics. Electronic Fetal Monitoring covers all aspects of this very important part of prenatal care. The expertise of the authors comes through every page.

Great book,
By Kirchner Mama "kirchnerfamily" (Minnesota, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Electronic Fetal Monitoring: Concepts and Applications (Paperback)
I went through this book in about a week. I'm a doula/nursing student and found it to be exactly what I was looking for in explaining how to read the EFM. The case study exercises in the back were by far the best part.
