My copy of this new edition just arrived, and I’m thrilled with it! More color, more summaries, more of everything… Certainly a nursing text book is not going to hit the Best Seller List, but this one should be on every nurse’s wish list. While its target audience is nursing students, the book is a great reference for experienced nurses, too. It covers all aspects of women’s health care, from well woman exams, to birth control, and pregnancy to menopause.
New additions to this, the 7th Edition, include expanded information on health and risk assessment, psychosocial issues, Spanish/English translations to facilitate care, information on alternative and complementary health care, and a CD ROM with addtiional resources, study guides, and illustrations.
The editors and contributors have provided an excellent resource for nurses involved in all phases of women’s health care.

I have really enjoyed this book (as much as a textbook can be enjoyable). It is concise, well-written, and to the point. Information is intelligently arranged so it is easy to reference and look things up. There are also lots of care plans included to help you out with clinical paperwork. My only gripe with this book is that the glossary is kind of puny- so if you don’t know what something is (and there are lots of words in OB that you won’t hear anywhere else) then you have to go back to the index and flip through the chapters to find where that thing is talked about in the book.

I’ve found this book to be a very difficult read. The chapters are long and boring and it’s very difficult to find information on a specific topic by using the glossary. I’ve found it more helpful to go online and research topics than to use this OB text. Avoid this book if you can.
