3.0 out of 5 stars too many acronyms, December 2, 2007

By	Roberto de Filippo "RdF" (Price, UT. USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Maternity Nursing 7th Edition (Hardcover)

The book is not easy too read. It is very informative, however. The authors should use less acronyms. Sometimes whole sentences are full of acronyms and it is just too hard to keep track of them.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, April 28, 2009

By	booklover (pa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Maternity Nursing 7th Edition (Hardcover)

I had to purchase this text book (7th edition) for my maternity class in nursing school and was disappointed. This text was very boring, made easy concepts very technical, and lacked clear info on nursing diagnosis. I have always had text books that very clearly explain what the appropriate nursing diagnosis would be along with interventions and goal suggestions. This text doesn't offer any of this which is VERY frustrating when you are trying to create nursing care plans. I will have to go to the library and borrow maternity books that better explain maternity nursing diagnosis, interventions, and goals in order to complete my care plans. The students in my class all generally hate this text. Reading it is like watching paint dry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Maternity Nursing, March 17, 2009

This review is from: Maternity Nursing (Book with CD-ROM) (Hardcover)

I am not a rich nursing student and I must get the cheaper, old editions of my text books. I got this one and it flowed really well. The later version has a few updates,info boxes, and new colors, yet I find the same in the older versions text. I highly recommend this edition as an economical alternative.
