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.

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!

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.

I sampled the 1st chapter of this book on my Kindle and really liked it. After I paid for it, I realized that it was nothing more than a great teaser. I don't use this one. I prefer "Medical-Surgical Nursing Demystified". It cost half as much. It gives an overview of the body system, a brief patho-phys overview of the condition (why it happened), prognosis, signs & symptoms, test result interpretation, treatments, nursing diagnosis, and interventions.

This is an excellent book to purchase. I wish I had it in nursing school. Way to go Marlene Hurst!!!

I love that it breaks down alot of information into bite size, digestible size for the brain!

I love this book, it has been very helpful... I got it for my kindle and I also have it on my laptop. I have looked at several pathology supplemental books and I found this one to be the most helpful... I love that I can take it with me on my kindle:)

The book was like new. CD-rom works great. Good for quick overview of pathophysiology and common disorders like MI.

Awsome book!! I am a second year RN student and Hurst Review rocks. Extremely helpful.

Nice book to have if you can spare the extra dollar. FOr me it is not as detailed as i imagined it to be
