A "MUST HAVE" for those preparing for the RNC or CCRN in neonatal nursing 2008-11-30

By Pamela J. Richardson (Redding, CA.)

This book is great for the Neonatal Core review and testing for the RNC or CCRN...Many study questions that are purchased on line are answered directly from this book. It is a "must have" for anyone preparing for the certification exam in Neonatal Intensive Care. If you are a nurse in the NICU...you should be versed in most, if not all, of the principles in this book. Even though you might not be inserting a central UVC, UAC, PICC or even doing an LP yourself, you should be able to assist with these procedures. Any physician or NNP would appreciate a skilled nurse. The book is easy to understand and is in most NICU's for reference. A home copy is wonderful to have.

Great for New NICU Nurses 2008-07-17

By BwayLovesYou (Illinois)

Having been in adult nursing for a few years and later changing my career path towards pediatrics... this was the first book I purchased in preparation for the NICU. It contains excellent material for either learning or brushing up on your neonatal education. Matter of fact, this exact book is used as a reference book in the NICU where I work. =)

Neonatal Intensive care 2007-10-21

By Christine M. Divens (Pittsburgh PA)

Excellent book for seasoned nurses to have as a reference or for a new nurse just starting in the neonatal unit. Comprehensive, well organized, easy to read and understand; photos, diagrams very helpful. Well worth the investment!

Too Complicated 2007-09-17

By S (LA)

This book is too difficult to understand. The book says it is a resource for nurses but it talks about how to insert a central catheter and calculating fluid/electrolyte/glucose rquirements which I will not use. It is full of complex formulas and charts that take up entire pages. It is also full of hundreds of statistics that are boring and a waste of my time to read. I was looking for something that starts out more basic and is easier to read. This book is more geared towards physicians or experienced nurses but not new grads starting out in the NICU like myself. Someone reading this book will need an introduction to basic neonatology before they can understand this book.
