I own this one. It's a great reference and you will learn a lot from it!
The sticky has some great resources listed, too. Check them out!!!
Also Some more I personally own (I have a large library of books I love)

Core Curriculum for Maternal-Newborn Nursing (Core Curriculum for Maternal-Newborn Nursing (AWHONN)) (Paperback
become a member. then you will receive two journals that serve as great reading and learning references to help you on your way to becoming an excellent L and D nurse.
GOOD LUCK!
intrapartum management modules is a great resource for new nurses. I have 20 years experience and really enjoyed reading it and I actually learned a few things. Good Luck
I agree with the above poster. "Intrapartum Management Modules" is a really great learning tool if you are new to L&D (and i guess even if you have 20 years experience!). I started in L&D 6 mo ago and it is one of my favorites.
AWHONN's "Perinatal Nursing" is also great as well as "The Labor Progress Handbook" by Simkin & Ancheta.

I am a new graduate and starting an internship in Labor and Delivery next month. Do you all have any suggestions of a good reference book for me to have while I'm on the floor?
