Recommended reading for new to L&D Floor

Rating:
(votes: 4)


Hi!
I have been a RN for two years (started as a new grad in a PACU) and have recently switched to a L&D floor. I am wondering if anyone can recommend a good book to read up/review the nursing care of a labor patient (ie- mag sulfate, oxytocin drips, rhogam, GBS, etc.)

Thanks!
I strongly recommend joining AWHONN!

Their website also has many articles on the best practices for labor and delivery! Here is their website: AWHONN WebI use this site to print of teaching for my post-partum patients on discharge. They have lots of great information!~Sherri"A new nurse thinks like a mom. An experienced nurse thinks like a lawyer."
