Which book?!

[almostnewgrad12]

Hello!

I'm a new grad NICU RN and am trying to decide between 2 textbooks. Does anyone have the "Handbook of Neonatal Intensive Care" by Merenstein and Gardner, or "Core Curriculum for Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing" by Verklan and Walding? If so, which one do you have and what are the pros/cons? They both have great reviews on Amazon and I'm struggling to make a decision.

Thanks in advance! :)

If you're going for AACN certification, I think the core curriculum would be helpful. You can do the NCC cert w/M&G, imo.
