Hi shauntaebrit,

Welcome to ObGyn! :)

My nursing school class used that book (several editions old by now) and I'm not sure what it is that you're finding hard to understand. But either way, it's better to make your own notes to begin with. You will understand better, and that way you know they're good notes.

You didn't understand an entire 5 chapters?

And expect someone to sum up approximately 200 pages of reading?

Sounds like you didn't read your assignment to me.

Good luck getting caught up.

I know my instructors use powerpoints. Perhaps follow the topics covered in the powerpoints as an outline, but also be sure to read all of the chapter. It is unrealistic to ask someone to provide you with notes and explanations of 5 chapters (those chapters aren't short!)

If it is still unclear after you read and review, ask your instructor for help because I doubt someone else's notes would make it any more clear.

No, You guys I just wanted to know if anyone else either read or is reading Lowdermilk&Perry and got a different out look on the chapters. This way I can compare my notes to to what I possibly get out of my research. Would you all like to see my notes?

If you want to post a summary and some questions/comments pertaining to what you've read, that's cool. I think the other posters are concerned because if you haven't read the chapters, anyone's else's notes are not going to do you much good. Not trying to be harsh, just realistic as someone who's been there/done that.
