I need a quick pregnancy/childhood/pp cheat sheet

Published

I'm doing Excelsior and am in the midst of the unit that covers the above. For some reason I just blank on the various values, vacc dates, Apgar stuff, yada yada yada. I think it's because I know I'll never be doing it which is, of course, no excuse for not knowing it, but I don't.

Is there a site that has a couple of pages of various dates and lab values and stuff co I can cram it into my little overflowing brain?

TIA!

I just found this site in my googling for information re: maternal-newborn

It has all the chapters, with links to lab values, etc

Hope it's some help

I'm keeping it in my favorites

and it has NCLEX questions for each chapter
