Can you recommend a book for neonatal nursing that contains the standards of care (neonatal nursing 'Bible')? This would be a great help as we are revising our nursing reference books.

Thanks!!!:kiss

Most recommend Handbook of Neonatal Care by Merenstein and Gardner. I found it dry, but still consider it a standard.

I prefer Core Curriculum for Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing.

Specializes in L&D,- Mother/Baby.

Perinatal Guidelines is another good one.

I second the Core Curicullum for Neonatal Nursing....great reference, easy to understand and especially good for someone new to the NICU and/or nursing.
