4 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW!
"The presentation is impressive, covering several learning styles and truly making the understanding of pathophysiology fun! This book offers another approach to those struggling with nursing content that will ultimately result in more successful test taking and safer nursing practice."--Doody's Review Service

1.0 out of 5 stars Not for Kindle, July 18, 2009

This review is from: Hurst Reviews : Pathophysiology Review (Kindle Edition)

I dont own the hardcopy but i got this for my recently bought Kindle and the version for the Kindle, SUCKS!!! It was a complete waste of money since I could not even read the tables that appear in a lighter gray shade. I dont see the point in changing the color. The tables that exists in every chapter of the books are almost unreadable and UNBEARABLE. You will need a magnifying glass to be able to read the table because the fonts dont change even if you change the actual font on the kindle. Then, there are several chapters at the end of the book that are only available in the CD, which one could have availed with a hard copy of the book.

From what I could read from the book, the "marlene moments" of the book were good since they help one remember certain important notes. But, I thought the bought was too simple and too basic that you could get a better understanding in your medical surgical book.

This review is from: Hurst Reviews Pathophysiology Review (Paperback)

I recommend this book to any nursing student who feels lost in Patho class! I walked out of lecture one day and I was so frustrated that I drove straight to the bookstore. This book breaks it down so that you can understand in plain old English. Its great to read before going to lecture and it really helped me with my first exam! I got an A! Trust me, if you want to understand Patho, get this book!

This review is from: Hurst Reviews Pathophysiology Review (Paperback)

The Hurst Pathophysiology Review has been a great help in studying for my finals. I have taken the NCLEX-RN and have gone on to further my education. This book is helping me get through a very difficult course. A little side note, I took an NCLEX review by Marlene Hurst, and loved it. That is the main reason I purchased this product, the other reason was I needed an easy to understand pathophysiology guide. I found the help I was looking for in this book.
