Perinatal Nursing by Kathleen Rice, Phd Simpson:
Great book. I am a perinatal nurse and I wanted to review before taking my NCC exam. This book has everything you need to know all in one book. Very thorough.
Evidence based care:
Yes, this book refers to a number of studies. But if you like a text with a sound basis in evidence based care, this is the text for you.
Perinatal Nursing:
It is somewhat hard to keep a focus as the text refers to many studies. I like plain and simple language I can understand and not all the "study" statistics!!
