Customer Reviews

used to study for the Maternal-Newborn Certification

Excellent book with an insane amount of critically important information. I researched many different books when I was looking for study material for the Maternal-Newborn Certification exam... glad I chose this one. It helped tremendously!

Fast Service

I ordered this book to start studying for the certification exam in Maternal Newborn. I received my new text book as promised the very next morning.

great book for OB nursing class

I used this book last semester for OB nursing class, it helped me understand basic concepts and put together nursing care plan greatly. It's very concise and well written.

Great Resource

The new edition of the AWHONN Core Curriculum for Maternal Newborn Nursing is excellent. It allows the staff on the units to have the latest information on clinical practice, guidelines for care, and patient education. The only thing more would be to have an appendix of common OB/Newborn procedures and protocols/guidelines and much of the annual hospital activities revolving around the hospital manuals could be greatly eased. We have tabbed the Clinical Practice segments for easy reference on the units.

Very good but with no pictures

The unique "no" of this book is no having pictures. But it's very easy to read and schematic. I use it to prepare my nursing classes and is one of my favorites.
