4.0 out of 5 stars
NPR 5th edition, July 1, 2008
This review is from: Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation [With DVD-ROM] (Neonatal Resuscitation: Textbook) (Paperback)
The new NPR 5th edition is an excellent resource for anyone needing to prepare for certification for NPR (i.e. ob/neonatal nurses, OB's, pediatricians, perinatologists, etc)
It is easy to read, has repitition that allows reinforcement of principles learned throughout the text. Quizzes appear throughout to assist in retention and integration of information.
The DVD-ROM included in the book is improved over the last one. For the visual learner, this is most helpful. The DVD-ROM includes, computer generated images, scenarios, and the book quizzes as well. An excellent adjunct to the book, that can be used as a stand-alone review.
There are a few discrepancies between the book and the DVD-ROM, but overall the set together is worth the price.
There is also the availability to take the NPR written examination on-line and then locate an instructor to complete the practical sessions. This is helpful for any busy practitioner when needing to schedule this exam, since the written component has close to 100 questions.

Great material to review and pass the exam, May 12, 2007
This review is from: Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation [With DVD-ROM] (Neonatal Resuscitation: Textbook) (Paperback)
Expanding on previous editions, the latest version of NPR provides a clear and concise format with which to study from in order to prepare and successfully pass the NPR exam. The included CD-ROM is a computer version of the text reading material. It did, however, have the appropriate videos which would assist any RN needing a quick review of various situations presented in real-time format. The book is highly recommended to any health-care professional needing information for the first time or any time usage for neonatal care.

Good study tool, November 30, 2008
This review is from: Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation [With DVD-ROM] (Neonatal Resuscitation: Textbook) (Paperback)
I used this book to study for NRP, and reading through it and doing the tests definitely prepared me for the class. Others I know used the disc to study and liked it as well. It's nice that there are 2 different types of study tools for people since not everyone learns the same way.
