Product Description
Encompassing the entire scope of the practice of midwifery, Varney's Midwifery covers the provision of primary care to women from puberty through senescence, including the maternity cycle and primary care of the well newborn. This new edition has been extensively revised and updated to reflect the full scope of current midwifery practice. It contains new chapters on nutrition in women's health, primary care and midwifery, pharmacology and midwifery, international midwifery and safe motherhood, cultural competence in midwifery practice, and common diagnoses in women's gynecological health. Four new skills chapters are also included.

 Decent for what it is April 6, 2010
A. Perkins
I agree with many concerns posted here and as a nurse midwife student find the text to be useful but dry and very hospital-focused. An added downside is that as this book ages, more and more of it becomes outdated and many portions of it need new evidence based material. There are multiple errors and I have many notes written in to correct either typos or incorrect (or not current evidence based) practices.
It is truly frustrating that for nurse midwife students Varney is the golden-standard. I am a bit jealous of direct entry and CPM's who use the Frye text- most likely a better choice!
Here's for crossing my fingers in hope that the next addition of Varney will re-inspire hope!

The book arrived quickly, still in its protective plastic wrap! And the price for it was cheaper than some of the other online sites' used books!

Premier midwifery book, written for and by nurse midwives, but has a lot of excellent information for direct-entry midwives as well.
