5 out of 5 stars hand book for maternal newborn .......2007-01-27

Great pocket book , i use my pocket books for clinicals. They take the place of the big textbooks, which makes my load 30 lbs lighter walking into clinicals.

3 out of 5 stars Good information, but not as thourough as I had hoped........2006-11-04

This was a really good review book and helpful while in the clinical environment, but it didn't have as much info as I needed to rely on it solely. There was still quite a bit of studying to be done!

3 out of 5 stars ok, not great.......2006-03-16

This handbook was pretty good, but I actually found it to be an unnecessary addition to my clinical experience. I certainly wouldn't say it was a "must have" like some of the other handbooks I've used.

5 out of 5 stars Did Not Read, Yet, But I KNOW!!.......2005-08-11

I purchased the Clinical Handbook for Medical Surgical Nursing, and it was a god-send! Therefore, I know that this book is well worth the purchase. It really narrowed down all that I needed for med-surg, so I know that anything by this company should be obtained by nursing students.

        5 out of 5 stars Private Practice Must Have!.......2007-02-16

        This is an excellent book for newly certified IBCLC's, RN's looking to go into private practice, or anyone even considering entering the field of lactation science.
        It is well written and very informative. I especially appreciate the advice on time management in the field vs. time with family...as well as pointers to facilitate the best care for the mother/baby dyad.

        5 out of 5 stars Invaluable resource.......2006-02-26

        This book is such an invaluable resource for anyone considering going into private practice LC work. Ms. Smith covers the good, the bad, and the ugly of the job, not to mention discussing ways of avoiding many potential pitfalls. Her style of writing is easy to follow and conversational, making it a pleasure to read. It's like having my own mentor sitting on the nightstand ready to help.

              Book Description

              "This is not a book that will tell the reader how to treat tuberculosis or diarrhea in the Third World. It is not a book the nurse will use to assign nursing diagnosis to her client's problems. It is a book for those who hunger for new ways of thinking about children and health care systems. It is a book for those who see or need to see the people of the world as interconnected. It is a book for people who want fuel for their own ideas about promoting psychological and physical health of children." --Journal of Pediatric Nursing "The contributors in the volume are distinguished, often leaders in their fields. They come from many countries, including the former Soviet Union, western and eastern Europe, Egypt, India, Ghana, Mexico, and from international organizations such as UNICEF and Worldwatch. They represent different disciplines, including education, the social sciences, public health, and the humanities. . . . The reader who is interested in certain places, as I was, will be rewarded." --Lewis Aptekar, review in World Psychology An international team of scholars, practitioners, educators, and policymakers from multiple and diverse nations analyzes the successes, failures, obstacles, and possibilities for promoting healthier development and well-being among children. They examine the myriad problems encountered by today's youth and offer compelling discussions on a variety of issues, both common and unique. They present numerous prevention and intervention proposals for promoting healthier environments for children worldwide. The topics covered include sources of stress in children's lives, the growing division between the world of the wealthy and the world of the poverty-stricken, multilevel systems approaches to prevention, educational systems intervention, prevention and reduction of aggression and conduct disorders, social policies for youth, and the rights of children. Improving Children's Lives is a vital resource for psychologists, psychiatrists, mental health professionals, social workers, educators, and policymakers interested in making an impact on the lives of children everywhere.

                Child abuse is unforgivable and this book pulls no punches in describing what it is and showing the visible effects. If you are involved in the care of other peoples children I can recommend it.
