Book Reviews of Maternity & Women's Health Care (Lowdermilk, Maternity & Women's Health Care)

Book Review: Great Book
Summary: 5 Stars

I would definitely recommend this book to maternity, L&D, postpartum nurses who like to get information from a hardbound reliable source. It has good, detailed information. Only downside, textbooks go out of date. So it's probably best as a tool for while you're in nursing school still.
