I never received this item and I purchased it a month ago. I emailed the seller a couple of times and did not receive a response, and I had already paid for the item and needed it for school. This whole experience was awful and I wouldn't recommend purchasing from anyone without checking all their feedback. Amazon did say that I would get a refund, but I have yet to receive it.
 Maternal Child Nursing Text April 26, 2007
Johnny Gauge (Denver CO USA)
This text is not only hard to find information you need, some of the chapters are hard to follow and read. The illustrations are good but information can be hard to come by. And talk about typos! Someone needs to proof read this text before it goes to the printer the next time.
Overall I think two stars is being very generous.
I am sure there is a better text to pick from.

This study guide makes up for everything that the text book lacks. I got the study guide in time for the 2nd exam and oh boy has it helped. I have recommended to all my fellow class mates to get this book.

Mostly general information. I had a hard time finding some of the information that I needed. Honestly, I don't feel like I have gained a whole lot of studying out of this text. Some of the chapters were hard to understand.
