Need help finding a pocket reference book

Published

I just got hired into my hospitals OB unit and am looking for a good labor delivery/pp pocket book- I searched this forum and the one that EVERYONE recommended (Labor and delivery in my pocket) is out of print! And that is exactly the type of thing I was looking for :sniff:. Any other suggestions, it would be much appreciated! (I already have some bigger texts, I am specifically looking for a small pocket book)- thanks in advance!

I have a pocket guide called RNotes and I know they make an OB notes one, too. I have never personally looked at it, but maybe check that one out? I LOVE my RNotes one (I also have a Critical Care Notes one that is great) so I can only imagine that the OB one would be great, too!

I have the Mosby's PDQ for RN, it has a good OB section as well as a lot of other useful info :)

Have you checked half.com for the out of print books? If the book isn't more than a few years out of print then it will probably be OK to use.

If you have an iphone see if they have an app. I have an app called skyscape and it is an excellent reference. Not sure if they have an OB version
