New L/D Nurse wanting quick guide

Published

Specializes in OB/PP/Nsy.

I graduate in May, and have secured a position in Labor and Delivery. I am wondering if there is a pocket guide, or a reference guide that any of you have found helpful. I know I will need something to jog my memory from time to time.

Thanks in Advance~!

I have a pocket book for L&D. I think it is called labor and delivery in my pocket. You can order it form amazon for about $15.

I have this too. Love it. It is a very quick and easy reference. It is pretty beat up and has no front cover now, but...... ;)

Think about putting a Pocket Dilation Guide in your pocket too. It's a great reference when learning cervical exams.

I have tried three times to post this... let's see if it works...

I got this book for my L&D preceptorship & I like it:

Clinical Handbook for Maternal Newborn Nursing & Women's Health Care

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0131122746/104-0325195-0127155?v=glance&n=283155

I typed all the chapters & topics for you but it got lost in cyber space... ughh! No time to retype...

Can you give me more information on this guide - I cannot find it online. Maybe an author, or ISBN #. Thanks
