This book is great I bought this in addition to the required book for our maternal-newborn clinical rotation and it was a great addition. It provides information in a nice clear and concise format. There is not a lot of fluff and it is easy to read! I used this book more than the required textbook. It is more like reading someone's notes they took from a class or book. If you are looking for wordy descriptions and pages of the same information with one simple concept that could be summarized in a few sentences then this book is not for you. If you are looking to direct your studying and getting important information with minimal reading than this is the book for you! I was glad I purchased this extra book. Everyone else wanted to share and I loaned it out several times during the semester.
I Love this book. It is so easy to read and understand. The concepts are brokendown very well that someone not in the medical field could also understand it. This books condition was describe well and accurately.
This textbook is excellent for the RN student nearing completion. The book does not contain a bunch of superfluous redundant information that is not needed in a students advanced level. You are able to get in, get the needrd information and get out.
Definitely helped me pass my class. it was very succinct which I really appreciated around finals. There where some times i couldn't find the answers to my instructors detailed questions but it was worth it.
This book makes consistent contradictions; as well as, uses unorganized and repetitive information. 75% of all information is bulleted. Another classmate had the same book, edition and the information was different on many diagrams (i.e. baby position during labor/delivery). I do not recommend this book to anyone, or any nursing program to use. I am glad our nursing program finally got to memo to switch over to Maternity and Women's Health Care by Lowdermilk.
This book is just ok in my opinion. I like a text book with TEXT and lots of it. This book is to "listy"...it is just bullet after bullet of info. It's to the point I guess, but I prefer a classic textbook with more explanation.
This book is great for basic maternity information. Like reading notes from someone else's lectures, you'll get all the important info without getting into details. If you're looking for something more in-depth, this book is not for you.
This book is okay. It was required for class. I wouldn't necessarily call it a book as it was more of an outline! Most of the information in the book was in outline form, which is great for the times you need a quick recap on information. However, it is nice to have some elaboration on certain topics. Overall, the book wasn't horrible, but I feel like more in depth information would be helpful in studying a topic of this nature.
