This book is great so is the online test it offers to practise for RNC exam. A few new changes incorporated in the book which will be on the exam I'm sure . Its a great review of systems and for those of us who haven't been in school lately it offers good review of changes in Research, Ethics. Very easy to follow with great review in the answer sections.<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Core-Curriculum-for-Neonatal-Intensive-Care-Nursing-4e-Core-Curriculum-for-Neonatal-Intensive-Care-Nursing-AWHONN/dp/1437702600/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Core Curriculum for Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing, 4e (Core Curriculum for Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing (AWHONN))</a>

That's a great book for the first year of a baby! Different opinions are being expressed from mothers ,there are chapters for each month of a baby's growth which is really helpful!

So far so good. I feel like your review is adequately preparing me, to pass on my try, by refreshing my critical thinking skills & my clinical knowledge that I have gained, during bedside nursing. I would like to also give your program 5stars.

Excellent quick-glance reference for all your critical care needs.  Highly recommended.

good review book to jog one's memory. Has basics - does not include many system topics- for example: some information on incontinence, a bit on UTI, a few sentences on failure. Handy dotpoints on exam pointers as well as tips for clinical practice.

Q&A is in a section at the back and is not delineated by system - all lumped together. This could work well if one were using the Q&A section to practice.

"Deb and Nicole have written the book that every parent about to enter, or currently living in the NICU should have.  It is thoughtfully written with the care and attention to detail that only two mothers who have truly experienced life in the NICU could provide.  Parents in the NICU enter a world unknown to most with clinical data and terminology being thrown at them from every direction as their child's life hangs by a thread.  "The Preemie Parent's Survival Guide to the NICU" takes this critical information and infuses it with a parent's reality which will help these families begin to make sense of this foreign medical world.  An empowered parent is a hopeful parent; what these babies need more than any doctor, nurse, or machine is a parent who believes in their survival."

As a nurse I can say that this book is the eaiest to read and most comprehensive, sane and sound on the topic of baby and child care. No extremes and a lot of support an respect for parents. I kind of know all that stuff being a nurse but I think it will help my husband with our first baby who is about to be born any day. My husband doesn't know anything about child care and I think this will be a valuable resource for him.

As for shipment and condition - it arrive on time and the book (I bought used) was in great shape. So I definitely recommend this seller.

I had to order this for my NRP class. This book is laid out pretty self-explanatory. Anyone that needs to take NRP or just wants to learn more about Neonatal Resuscitation should get this.

my baby was not premature enough for 90% of this book to apply. (only a month early, in NICU for less than a week). Much (all?) of the content is already in the Baby Book.

I purchased this book to give siblings when they visit in our NICU.  The NICU nurses use it to teach the children about the unit and the newest member of their family.  It is a wonderful resource to have.

This text book is a classic in the neonatology field.  It is not easy to read.  I wish they made it with a little bit of more color and more friendly to the reader.  What is a plus in this edition is the online expertconsult that give you full access to the entire content of the book.
I personally like Avery's better than Fanaroff but since I started my fellowship this year and Fanaroff released this lates edition I thought that was going to be better than Avery's but I still prefer to read from Averys rather than from this new Fanaroff edition.

Lovingly written and beautifully illustrated, this book is a valuable resource for families experiencing life in the NICU. Parents and children learn about the NICU through the eyes of young Adam, whose sister was born premature. The book explores the many emotions that family members go through when a baby is born too soon. The illustrations provide detailed, accurate scenes that will help parents explain the NICU to their older children. The book also includes information about the author's personal experiences in the NICU, tips for parents, and further discussion questions for parents and caregivers. A detailed, thorough resource for families and educators.

Written by a host of specialists from mainly Denver Childrens hospital, it serves as an excellent review of general pediatrics with enough detail to understand concepts. The other advantage is that this book is more frequently updated than other more comprehensive text books. This book is very good for medical students but probably lacks the detail required for pediatric residents preparing for the boards.

This book does a great job of presenting the core material of medical physiology along with some subtle nuances that most students do not have time to learn.  I would recomend this book to any medical students that want to master physiological medicine without wasting time or missing the relevance of the material to clinical practice.
Excelent, as quick as a review book, but as detailed as a textbook.

This book is an excellent teaching resource for both experienced and inexperienced pediatric critical care nurses.  It covers CV in great depth with other concepts receiving just enough attention to get your bearings for critical care assessment and intervention.  It does not encompass all the points for the CCRN-pedi exam as of 2013, but the concepts of critical care rarely change, and this has fantastic information, graphics, and reference material.

Even though the book dates to the late 1990's, it teaches well.  I think the primary competitor for informational reference is the Core Curriculum by Slota.  While Slota's text is organized well for bullet point reference, for large concepts, it can't tackle all the elements in just a bullet point format.  Hazinski does the job well.

There are newer monitoring things out there that aren't referenced in Hazinski's book (NIRS, PiCCO, etc.), but you don't necessarily need that information to understand the concept.  I highly recommend this book for those preparing for the CCRN-pedi exam and for self-motivated education.

This Syngess book was my core study guide and it covered about 90% of the topics on the exam which I passes with an 840. Unfortunatley no one book will cover everything except possibly for the 7000 page Server Resource Kit. I found it to be very accurate compared to the Sybex 70-216 2nd edition book. The core topics are covered very well - dns, wins, dhcp, ip addressing, nat/ics, vpn, ipsec, and rras. Certificate Services could have been more thorough and a more in depth explanation on cidr. The  exam tips and two minute drills were very helpul in hammering home the important points and great for final study review. The overall layout of the book was excellent. The end of chapter questions for the most part were nothing like the real exam, so do not count on them to gauge your rediness for the real exam, but to be fair I have not found any book that has realistic exam type questions - the Sybex 70-216 2nd edition is close though. This Syngress book along with LOTS of hands on practice on a home network lab will help prepare you well for the exam. You will NOT be able to pass this exam by ANY book alone. I also recommend extensive use of the onboard help that comes with Windows 2000 - it is a wonderful resource. Also searching the Microsoft website for related articles (dns, dhcp, wins, rras, etc) for further study will serve you well. The Microsoft Readiness Reviews are a good companion practice exams that are similar to the real exam questions. The Syngress 70-216 book is a good choice for your main study guide.

I have found this book to be an invaluable resource while working in a Cardiac ICU. It is well organized, succinct and provides valuable background information to both to each class of drugs and individual medications. It combines a clear format for easy access to information as well as valuable clinical and pharmacological information. I have found this book to be useful both as a reference for day to day patient care and as a read during down-time in the unit.
