Book Reviews of Maternity and Pediatric Nursing
Book Review: The worst textbook I have used to date.
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this textbook for OB and Peds and after having taken both classes, I honestly feel like burning this textbook. Like I said in the title, this is the worst textbook I have used to date. This is throughout my entire educational experience, not just nursing school. The reasons are as follows:
Cons:
Poor editing - This book is riddled with errors.
Contradictory information - There is nothing more frustrating that reading about a given value in one page and two pages down, getting a different value for the same thing. This of course may be attributable to the poor editing or due to there being two authors but given how much I paid, I should not have to consult another book in order to get something I can use.
Poor layout - This text has the most illogical and irritating layout ever. The tables and boxes for a given topic/subtopic typically appear in the middle of the next topic/subtopic which throws you off your stride as you read through the text book. Really annoying.
Online answers to book questions - Why they could not put the answers in the back of the book is beyond me. All the answers to the end of chapter questions are online. If you don't have the online code, you can't access them.
Pros:
Full text online: You need a code to access the online text but once you do, it is really handy. You can even print out the entire book online if you wish.
Wish I could think of more pros but that is it. If you have to use this book, I sympathize.
