This review is from: Maternal-Newborn Nursing and Women's Health Care (7th Edition) (Maternal Newborn Nursing (Olds)) (Hardcover)

This book has become one of my favorite nursing textbooks that I know I will use far after my OB rotation is through. It is easy to read and full of really pertinent information. I know feel like I could deliver a baby or talk any woman though her prenatal care and pregnancy concerns. This is a really great book and I am happy that it was included in my textbook library.
