1.0 out of 5 stars
Hope you're not required to get it,
This review is from: Maternal Child Nursing Care, 4e (Wong, Maternal Child Nursing Care) (Hardcover)
This book is so bad my school is switching it out after only one semester of use.
The book is too wordy. There are newly introduced terms with no definition given until several paragraphs or often pages later. The terms are not bolded in any way. Some are in italics but you're so cross-eyed from reading the small print that everything looks italicized. No glossary to help you out either. Finding information is a huge time commitment since the index is nearly useless. There are few things you can look up as common terms and find what you want. There are no review questions at the end of each chapter which is something that we nursing students want to help us with the NCLEX. The accompanying website does have some questions but most of the chapters I've studied only have 3 or 4 questions. Not nearly enough for adequate review. The content of many sections does not always provide the information that the section heading suggests. It may be several sections later when the authors repeat the subject. You will also find that different sections have conflicting data. This book is completely frustrating. If your school uses it, good luck, and do your best to get them to change it if you get the chance.

Good book, even though it's required,

This review is from: Maternal Child Nursing Care, 3e (Wong, Maternal Child Nursing Care) (Hardcover)
This book was required for my last semester of nursing school (OB/Peds), but I still think it's a good book. It does a good job of combining OB & Peds instead of having two separate (and often confusing) references as we've had in other subjects.
~~~It's now near the end of the semester and I wanted to amend my review of this book. I tried to change my rating to 4 stars and couldn't. I personally feel that the book contains too much information, half of which was not covered the entire semester. Even in the parts we have covered, the information is often repeated in two or three times, greatly adding to the bulk of the book. The information could have been written in a much more concise manner, and is often verbose and wordy.

Too much,
By T.L (Houston,Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Maternal Child Nursing Care, 3e (Wong, Maternal Child Nursing Care) (Hardcover)
Take it from a nursing student that this book has way too much detail.When trying to read for class you need a book that gets to the point while supplying a sufficient amount of detail.My classmates and I both complain about the extra information in this book.
