ob book:
this book was in really good condition, arrived in a timely fashion, and saved me a lot of money!
Great Book!!:
This book is easy to read and understand. I highly encourage all nursing students to get this book. It explains all you need to know before you go into the hospital setting for Women's Health. The nurses were even amazed at how much I know as a student! Definitely a must buy!
Not as promised, disappointed!:
To: wvujewels I ordered "Maternal Newborn Nursing & Women's Health Care & Maternity" by Olds Card Pky (7th ed.). The book came but there was no CD - the envelope was empty. I chose that book because of the CD. Very disappointed! order # 17708348149365
this is the text book- but get the small companion book:
This is the text book for OB It is so long and detailed.... but the clinical companion to this book is excellent. As well as the maternal new born nursing from prentice hall reviews and rationales. those two books explain to you exactly what you need to know for your class! seriously!
