Customer Reviews

Study Guide is VERY helpful!!!!

I have found the Study Guide to be very helpful........ one of the best I have ever used. I highly recommend it.

Must have!

If you have the Textbook you need to have this Study Guide too! It has lots of exercises and really helps. I recommend it!

Good book, even though it's required

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.

Great study guide

This study guide makes up for everything that the text book lacks. I got the study guide in time for the 2nd exam and oh boy has it helped. I have recommended to all my fellow class mates to get this book.

Easy to understand, terrific illustrations/pictures

This is a reference book I come back to again and again. The text is written in a no-nonsense straight forward manner. The technical terms are all defined in an easy to use glossary at the beginning of each chapter. This book describes every treatment step in detail in easy to understand language. Its the first book I turn to when dealing with matern-child treatment.
