Neonatal Resuscitation Textbook Fifth Edition

I’m not sure if this is up to date, but I bought it for a future nursing student and they thought it was a thoughtful gift.

These books help me pass my PALS but do make sure when you go to take your course that they have not updated the book

The new NPR 5th edition is an excellent resource for anyone needing to prepare for certification for NPR (i.e. ob/neonatal nurses, OB's, pediatricians, perinatologists, etc)It is easy to read, has repitition that allows reinforcement of principles learned throughout the text. Quizzes appear throughout to assist in retention and integration of information.The DVD-ROM included in the book is improved over the last one. For the visual learner, this is most helpful. The DVD-ROM includes, computer generated images, scenarios, and the book quizzes as well. An excellent adjunct to the book, that can be used as a stand-alone review.There are a few discrepancies between the book and the DVD-ROM, but overall the set together is worth the price.There is also the availability to take the NPR written examination on-line and then locate an instructor to complete the practical sessions. This is helpful for any busy practitioner when needing to schedule this exam, since the written component has close to 100 questions.

A well-organized approach to neonatal resuscitation that adequately prepares you for the NRP certification course and increases or maintains your neonatal resuscitation skills.

I'm a computer person moreso than a booky.......So using the DVD that comes with the book was VERY helpful.. It has the exact information the book offers and MORE!

What I expected.

This text is needless simplified and has so many annoying repetitions and facts that every person who takes NRP already knows. If the authors throw out at least some of them, the book would shrink twice and so would do my time spent.
