Looking for very specific book recommendations

I have browsed through the sticky on recommended reading, and while it was helpful, it was also a bit overwhelming.

I am an LPN with several years experience in an out of hospital birth setting as an OB office nurse, L&D nurse, postpartum nurse, and baby nurse (we nurses wear all the hats in this particular birth center). I am now going back to school to get my BSN, and so will soon start to work prn for an agency, where I will be placed in post partum/mother baby, and the nursery (level I).

I am very experienced in some aspects of post partum care and newborn care, and hardly at all in others. I would really like a good, thorough, clinical book on mother/baby nursing. I feel like my mother/baby text from nursing school, besides being 6 years old, isn't specific enough in many instances. If your recommended book had information about common drugs used in the post partum/nursery settings, it would be a bonus.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks! I've been looking at the sticky, checking out the options on half.com an amazon, but I so few have reviews, I wanted to hear what nurses who actually work in the field found helpful.

well i have 8 years in it....I can give you a truckload of suggestions, from entertainment, to continuing education, to handy pocket guides.

Hi, I am transferring from PCU to a Mother-Baby Unit and would love to find a good pocket guide.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!!
