Maternal Child Heath Who is learning this semester?

[kukukajoo]

We are beginning this next week over the next semester and looks daunting- lots of reading!!

It looks like we read the entire book in 8 weeks along with other stuff- Ughh! Over 1800 pages!

Who else is studying this now and anyone know of good resources?

This is the book we are using:

Maternal Child Nursing Care, 3rd Edition

Authors: Donna L. Wong, Shannon E. Perry, Marilyn J. Hockenberry, Deitra Leonard Lowdermilk, & David Wilson

ISBN: 0323028659

hey count me in... I am totally off my rocker because I am now returning to nursing school after a 2 year sabbatical to have twin daughters.

We are using Maternal-Child Nursing Care by London. 2000 pages long. They also cram Gerontology and the beginning of Psych in to this semester. Should be fun. lol I start tomorrow. Will report back when I get my 56 page syllabus.

Just an FYI as I hadn't seen it around these threads for quite some time, but that book was killing my "tennis elbow", so I took it to Kinko's and had them rebind it in to 4 smaller versions....makes it MUCH easier to lug around AND read!! I think they charge $4 each section for the binding, and another $1 for a front and back plastic cover for each section. Well worth it in my opinion!!

Sheesh, you'd think medical people would know better than to risk our backs like this!!

Hey I have twins- they are almost 20 now! So yes, you do live thru it!

Congrats!

thanks!

and oyyyy 20 eh? you made it thru the teen years. my girls are almost 2.5 and they are a bundle of energy. keeps me on my toes though.

also, i was praying they didnt make us lug the book to class everyday, but i am going to need a nice quiet place to study, so lugging it to the library may do a number on my joints. I will def give that binding a try. tsm!

Anyone know any easy ways to remember any of the info? I am doing okay but feel I should be doing better. Waiting on ordering the Straight A's book once i get my tax return which I am hoping will be very very soon.
