5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must reference for every practicing midwife., Jun 12 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Varney's Midwifery (Hardcover)

I have read the other posted reviews of this textbook and feel obliged to respond to those who negatively critiqued its application to out-of-hospital birth. Midwifery IS midwifery. The principles put forth in this third edition set the gold standard for safe and competent care of mothers and neonates ... regardless of the setting ... and also provide the parameters for well-woman care. It would behoove every midwife to become as knowledgeable as possible about full-scope midwifery practice and Varney's Midwifery provides an ideal resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read, Nov 21 2003

wendy graefe (VA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Varney's Midwifery (Hardcover)

I have always found Varney to be useful and easy to read, especially in comparison to Speroff or Gabbe. I think that this book was never intended to be the definitive text on home birth. If a midwife's interest lies in homebirth, seek out books that cater to that option. I found the skills sections especially helpful. It isn't Varney's job to unite midwives, her primary job is to educate. You can not teach the spirit of midwife through a book, that's where mentoring comes into play. This is certainly a must have for all practicing midwives, regardless of educational background.

2.0 out of 5 stars Technically accurate, boring read, Nov 5 2002

P. K. Duncan (Texarkana, TX United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Varney's Midwifery (Hardcover)

I am impressed by Varney's vast knowledge of hospital procedures as they relate to midwifery care. However, I found this to be "textbook" as a very boring read. Her information did not really cover the practice outside the hospital setting as thoroughly as would be needed for someone praticing in that setting. Her information would be most appreciated by the CNM and the L&D nurse - a great resource for them.

3.0 out of 5 stars This is a good reference book, but not the best for homebirt
This book is a good reference book, but not the best one for homebirth midwives. Myle's, and Anne' Frye's books I have found to be more applicable in my practice. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Not for those looking for Home Birth information!
This book does no service to the Home Birth community. If you are looking for information on all facets of birth in a MEDICAL setting, then this book would be for you. Read more
