5.0 out of 5 stars Good book, even though it's required, January 18, 2008

By	Erin M. Hooper (Louisville, KY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Maternal Child Nursing Care (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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too much, September 12, 2007

By	T.L (Houston,Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Maternal Child Nursing Care (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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but too much, November 5, 2006

By	JS "JS" (South FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Maternal Child Nursing Care (Wong, Maternal Child Nursing Care) (Hardcover)

While I think this book has very accurate information and is well organized, I also feel that there is too much supplementary information surrounding the core concepts. I honestly feel that the authors write like they were speaking and they like to hear themselves talk. I had to buy this book for class, so I did. If you do not, I recommend buying something where the information is a little more condensed and to the point. If you do have to use it, like me, then understand that you will be reading a lot of information in order to understand a few concepts.
