I love this book! It is small enough to fit in your pocket in clinical. It covers pretty much all the topics you will need to know. I might be a little biased but my OB professor is one of the authors. Trust me though, she is highly respected and one of the most intelligent women I know. It's a great resource. You won't regret it! I also work in L&D as a RN fellow and find it useful! I keep it in my mailbox at work for a quick reference :)
I found it difficult because I wasn't interested. I don't have any kids and don't plan on having any plus maternity and peds is the last place on earth I would want to work. If I can pass with the text book and lecture notes provided, anybody who loves the subject will do fine.
P.S. Don't think that someone else's experience will reflect how you will do in a course. Think positive and you'll do great. Good luck!!
My OB teacher is harsh!!! I can get every answer correct on all the nclex practice questions but they do not even come close to her test questions.. She makes up her own questions so it is very difficult. Half of the class is failing and I am passing by a hair! But I love OB and I do understand it.. but her tests are just way over the top...
