Maternity Books

This book is very well written. It has been one of my favorite textbooks so far. It is very informative and also user friendly. It made my maternity rotation a very enjoyable experience.

I purchased this book because I am taking OB this semester. This careplan book is laid out nicely with all of the careplan information I need. It has the defining charactertitics, inverventions and rationals, which is perfect for any nursing student.

Bought this book for school. It has a checklist and it breaksdown the steps for you. the seller sent it really quick!

Maternity Nursing (Nurse's Clinical Guide)is writtin in a clean, clear style. Content is complete but not cumbersone. Entire book formatted using nursing process. Great for RN students

This is a to-the-point kind of book - ideal for reviewing prior to exams or to keep updated.The bullet-point style means it is simple to get information rapidly. It is wonderfully woman-focussed, but covers all labour and birth care aspects that midwives need to have a clear understanding of. It is primarily U.K. based practice but still ideal for all practitioners, regardless of location.
The section on suturing is particularly good, with excellent diagrams. I like the frequent referencing within text and the easy to read format.
Recommended for all midwives, teachers of student midwives and students.

Thank goodness for those modern women scholars who have translated such amazing medieval women's books such as this one. Now we have the women's voices themselves, and the modern reader will be both shocked and fascinated by what was believed about midwifery in the middle ages. I found this subject so interesting that I made the main character of my historical novelRashi's Daughters, Book II: Miriam a midwife.

It's written for an elementary aged child, but the photos of real moms and real kids are very helpful, even for my 2-year-old (we just skipped the words). The clothes are out of date, but what little kid is going to notice? A good way to prepare for the Big Day.

During my OB/Peds rotation for nursing school I was pleasantly surprised at how helpful this little pocket book was. I found myself looking up interventions that were really useful. I liked that it had all the more common complications and diseases of childhood and pregnancy. I would recommend this book for anyone that needs a quick reference to help with questioning instructors.

I want to know the changes in the bethesda system after the second workshop(1991).

A widowed teen abandons her quadruplets at Maitland Maternity leaving only a note requesting that nurse April Sullivan adopt her children. Despite the mother's wishes, Social Services does not believe a single young nurse can adequately provide for the children, and plans to remove them from her temporary care. April grew up in foster homes and will do whatever it takes to spare the children her experiences.A bit shocked and overwhelmed by the turn of events, April nonetheless dedicates herself to preparing her life for motherhood while hoping the mother either reconsiders or can be located.

Caleb McCallum has a remarkable gift of empathy that served him well in his pursuit of subjects when he was a police officer. His partner's death resulted in his resignation from the force. Now father has requested a private investigation in search of the missing mother of the quadruplets. It's not hard for him to understand the widowed mother's fears, and his compassion is matched only by his determination to help April with the children. Knowing the child welfare system, Caleb knows marriage is April's only hope of winning custody. Despite his head's knowledge their arrangement is temporary and April resists commitment on any level not related to the children, Caleb's heart desperately fears losing her.

The Maitland Maternity series continues with QUADRUPLETS ON THE DOORSTEP by Tina Leonard. A lively, entertaining romance, QUADRUPLETS ON THE DOORSTEP captures not only the joys and challenges of caring for four infants, but also the dangerous emotional waters and depths such care entails. Gentle compassion of the birthmother balances the desire of this hopeful adoptive mother. Indeed, the desires of the heart never prevents April's expectations for the mother to be found, making her quite an admirable heroine since she'd love nothing more than to keep the children herself. Spunky, intelligent and resourceful, April is a strong heroine evenly matched by Caleb McCallum. Caleb's white knight complex feels a bit exaggerated, yet understandable in light of his past. A wonderfully entertaining read, QUADRUPLETS ON THE DOORSTEP comes recommended.
