(2 stars) - not a good buy for my class
I purchased this study guide it hopes that it would aid in studying for my tests. Unfortunately it doesn't really work with they way my instructor teaches the class & the areas she highlights on.

(4 stars) - Maternity Nursing
I ordered this book and really did not need to because the Wong book has the same material. But I have been using this book and find it easy to read. I think it is the PN level, but is a good review. This study guide used with the Wong study guide is good because it presents the material in 2 different formats. This helps me to look at the material in 2 ways.

(4 stars) - Well rounded book
I purchased this book for my maternity nursing class and was pleased to find it was a well written and easily navigable book. Potential nursing diagnosis are listed throughout the book to correspond with the topic being covered. An additional aid that I really liked was the sample care plans throughout the book. They serve as a great springboard to a personalized care plan for clinicals. Overall, this book is certainly a worthwhile text.

(5 stars) - Maternity Nursing 7th Edition
Finally, a user-friendly textbook for nursing! Thorough and well-organized. Excellent care plan help!

(2 stars) - Disappointed
I had to purchase this text book (7th edition) for my maternity class in nursing school and was disappointed. This text was very boring, made easy concepts very technical, and lacked clear info on nursing diagnosis. I have always had text books that very clearly explain what the appropriate nursing diagnosis would be along with interventions and goal suggestions. This text doesn't offer any of this which is VERY frustrating when you are trying to create nursing care plans. I will have to go to the library and borrow maternity books that better explain maternity nursing diagnosis, interventions, and goals in order to complete my care plans. The students in my class all generally hate this text. Reading it is like watching paint dry.
