Maternal-Newborn Nursing: The Critical Components of Nursing Care Second Edition

I needed this book for my nursing program. I rented on amazon and I saved a lot of money. It's a pretty good book just like all the other nursing books. OB is not really for me so I am just trying to pass the class. The chapter summary and the quizzes at the end of the chapters definitely helped me on the tests in class. If your nursing program uses this book , I think you should rent it from amazon!

I loved this book. I came into nursing to become an L&D nurse. This book is such an easy read with great charts and its very explanatory when it comes to difficult concepts. The "critical components" within the chapters are very helpful and were def concepts our teacher used on the exams. Overall my favorite book in nursing. It wasn't a crazy bulky book like my med surg book and it was user friendly! Good luck nursing students!

This book is full of helpful information. I find it practical for my needs and a go to reference source. I recommend this book for those taking a course in maternity and or have interest in the subject to eventually work in the field.

If your class required this book. Get it! It's easy to read and understand. Its not that thick. Renting from Amazon is the best and most affordable way to rent textbook.

Needed this textbook for class and it was very affordable and in great condition.

Verify that you are getting the full-book with online access because the PAPERBACK version does not provide the online access. Also the paperback book does not provide any color pictures or color charts, EVERYTHING is in black & white, so if you are a visual learner, you may want to pay the extra money for the Hardcover book to ensure color pages and online access to the Davis site. I just had to place another order for the hardcover since the paperback is lacking so much.

The book is great as an outline. But tuts basically it. I know most people looking to buy this book is doing so because they have to but just be warned. If you are like me and you like to read and highlight this book kinda stinks. It gives all the main points and key concepts, but thats it. I ended up highlighting EVERYTHING when I would read so I just didn't read it. (Yes I still passed the class with an A but I wished I had a book with a little more meat to it)

Love how detailed the book is. Wish the book would put the clinical manifestations in its own section for easy accessibility.
