Books for beginners

Published

Hi all! I am currently an oncology nurse with 2 years of experience. I am getting ready to transfer to L&D and will be cross trained to post partum and nursery. Are there any books you would recommend to get me started on basics? I have birthed a child myself and beyond that all I know is what I remember from nursing school. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Join AWHONN, save money on books, conferences, and classes. Get Principals and Practices of Fetal Heart Monitoring and take the online class in Basic Fetal Monitoring. The Labor Progress Handbook by Penny Simpkin has been very helpful in my practice. Take a Preparation for Childbirth class to see how it’s being taught in your area. A breast feeding class will probably be helpful as well.
