Books for midwifery course at UCD

chanste

My wife is about to start midwifery at UCD in September and she is looking forward to get stuck in. Can anybody suggest any reading materials or books that she'd be as well to buy now to try get some kind of a head start.

Thanks

Can't go wrong with the Ten Teachers books

Both very enjoyable to read

I am a second year Midwifery Student in UCD - I wouldnt go rushing into buying too many books if I were your wife.

She will be doing Anatomy & Physiology - so the book that we were advised to get was this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fundamentals-Anatomy-Physiology-10-System-Suite/dp/0321545982/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1294159105&sr=8-1

For her Midwifery Modules she should get one of the following:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Myles-Textbook-Midwives-Diane-Fraser/dp/0443069395/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1294159196&sr=1-1

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mayes-Midwifery-Christine-Henderson-DPHE/dp/0702026166/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1294159220&sr=1-1

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Skills-Midwifery-Practice-procedures-Self-assessment/dp/0702031461/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1294159249&sr=1-1

If she hasnt done any science subjects before, she might find the "dummy" books helpful to read over the summer eg. "anatomy & physiology for dummies" "chemistry for dummies" etc etc

She will do Anatomy & Physiology
and
Scientific Principles (which includes biology, chemistry & physics)

The library in the health science library where she will be studying, has all the books she will need - so tell her not to rush out buying too many books!

I have the Myles from when I did my midders and found it brilliant. The rest she can easilly get from the library.

I have heaps of books and might be interested in selling some if you're interested?
