Customer Reviews

Great for new RNs

Bought this book to help with my newborn assessment skills- I love it! It has been really helpful for me as a new nurse starting work in maternity nursing. Great pictures and easy to read. I highly recommend this book to anyone who needs to know their way around babies.

A bargain!

This is so much cheaper than I could have purchased in the UK. This is an excellent text for anyone considering examination of the newborn. I would recommend this to midwives everywhere.

Required reading for all nursery personnel!

This book is a thorough and excellent guide to accessing the newborn. There is a comprehensive test at the end that serves to reinforce learning and can help with your ceu's!

looking closely at brand new people

This textbook is a wealth of information on what is normal and what is not. It has extensive and readable text, appropriate pictures, and a self-assessment at the end. The reader can even apply for continuing education credits for taking the test! I hvae recommended this text to the nurses at the hospital where I work, and they all agree that it is a valuable and affordable reference.
