Prentice-Hall Nursing Reviews & Rationals: Maternal-Newborn Nursing, 2nd Edition PDF
So i found out in april this book was coming out on August 1, 2006, and i kept checking to get my copy. dates got pushed to Aug. 25, then sept 6, then finally, it came out on Sept 20. do not like the fact that it did not come out the time predicted but stuff like this happens.
Pros:
Good content like the old edition. nclex pointers which are no longer represented by the nclex word but by something else (nothing fancy).
This edition provides pre and post test like the other edition EXCEPT in addition to giving the rationale, it also gives a test-taking strategy to help with answering the question and choosing the right answer. (really good strategies if you learn them)
This one follows the current nclex test plan in that it contains alternate format questions AS WELL AS diagrams or whatever you call it where you indicate the answer.
The nursing notes that comes with this has the same content as the other one except its of a better quality.
It has an audio glossary on the CD and the terminoly on the CD is matching so it is quite interactive.
I got my library to purchase this book while waiting for this new edition to come out, checked it out a few times and then someone stole it from the reserve desk so i did not get soo much into the content of the old one though i glanced through most parts of it. Hence, i can say this one has nicely formated tables,(in color, may i add) and various diagrams.
The questions are a little harder but i did them before reading the content so i know i'll find the answers in it. (i'm only answering based on information i've learned from other review books such as saunders, nsna, lippincott etc). did well on those tests but hogan has a lot more PERTINENT information based from seing everything i got wrong in the content.
