hand book for maternal newborn:
Great pocket book , i use my pocket books for clinicals. They take the place of the big textbooks, which makes my load 30 lbs lighter walking into clinicals.
Good information, but not as thourough as I had hoped.:
This was a really good review book and helpful while in the clinical environment, but it didn't have as much info as I needed to rely on it solely. There was still quite a bit of studying to be done!
ok, not great:
This handbook was pretty good, but I actually found it to be an unnecessary addition to my clinical experience. I certainly wouldn't say it was a "must have" like some of the other handbooks I've used.
Did Not Read, Yet, But I KNOW!!:
I purchased the Clinical Handbook for Medical Surgical Nursing, and it was a god-send! Therefore, I know that this book is well worth the purchase. It really narrowed down all that I needed for med-surg, so I know that anything by this company should be obtained by nursing students.
