The book was in excellent condition and I received the order just in time for the start of the semester. So, far this is my favorite nursing book and one of the most difficult classes that I have taken. The changes that a woman's body goes through during the birth process is astronomical. Aside from that, the text has a lot of errors in it and it could be organized better. Hopefully, the author will release a newer version of this book with less grammatical errors and a better index. With my order, I received a study guide, which was a great review of content and a big help for the end of term HESI. When I completed my clinicals the nurses on the unit had a copy of this book in the reference section of their Mother Baby Unit. Everything that you need to know about congenital abnormalities and the location of the fundus antepartum and post partum for the HESI is in this book.
Required for nursing school. After reading 6 chapters (15 to go), there are quite a few errors, a textbook should have a none to very few. The setup is also not appropriate such as the intro and pathophys is the same paragraph. Followed by management. then RN assessment and RN management which is the same as management. Disorganized for a longer book I suppose. Wouldn't recommend it if it wasn't required.
So. Many. Grammatical errors. I find it hard to take seriously and appreciate spending so much money on a textbook with so many errors. If you have to use this book for class, I'm sorry. Maybe you aren't the stickler of grammatical accuracy as am I. I'm thankful to have had an instructor that relied more on her PowerPoint slides than the text.
The book has minimal usage for our classroom experience and this has been made even worse for me because I bought the Kindle version, which does not include page numbers! How in the world am I supposed to relate to material discussed in a class without page numbers? Absolute failure. I will never buy another Kindle version of a book.
This is an awesome book. Easy read and contains all of the information you will need to be successful in your OB course. There a few discrepancies but with a little fixing up this book would be perfect. I've never read a book as much as I read this one.
It was cheaper to get this textbook and the student study guide separately. The package deal was more money. They were brand new and arrived promptly.
Women's Health Nursing Glory... It gets the job done, be sure to use companion online resources, it is a great and helpful read. Thanks!
This book was required by my teacher. The stuff she assigned for homework couldnt be found in this book. I used the index and index was incorrect. Had to use google to get my information.
