Maternity Nursing Study Guide PDF | OB Nursing Notes | Labor, Postpartum and Newborn | Fetal Monitoring | NCLEX Review | Printable

OB makes sense when you study it in order. This guide follows a pregnancy from conception to the newborn going home.

This is a 36-page printable maternity and newborn nursing study guide for nursing students in OB or maternal-newborn class and for ATI or NCLEX review. I'm Anna, RN, BSN, PHN. I'm a nurse educator, and I've been helping nursing students through NurseStudy.Net since 2012. Each topic covers what is normal, the danger sign to watch for, and what the nurse does first, with tables, high-yield boxes and memory tricks like VEAL CHOP, LION, BUBBLE-HE, GTPAL and the 4 T's.
