Specializes in CV-Telemetry, Patient Blood Management.

I am a new student for NP program (Adult/Gerontology). My first 2 courses will be Advanced Pathophysiology & Health Promotion/Health Policy. I wonder why what books or references I could use and read before classes start?

Google the name of your school and the name of the course and the word "syllabus." You should come up with syllabi for the course at your school for each professor who teaches it. If you know who's teaching your section, you can see what books they assign and what chapters they start with.

Specializes in Correctional Nursing; MSN student.

Obviously the text and any recommended study guides. The book that really helped me was Clinical Pathophysiology Made Ridiculously Simple by Aaron Berkowitz, MD, PhD. This was extremely beneficial and I purchased it dirt cheap on eBay. Good luck!

Honestly, I wouldn't purchase additional texts beyond the one recommended for your course. If you feel weak in a particular area of patho, use google & youtube, you can probably get enough good information out of them prior to class to help you and it's alot cheaper. Once your in class, you will use your book and whatever other resources the professor finds help the students to learn the material.

If your working in a hospital or other facility that has online resources for the nursing staff, then you can use that too, they often have good basic information that can get you started and give you the basics of any topic.

I would purchase clinical patho made ridiculously simple stated above. Those advanced patho textbooks are something else…lol.. so intimidating. However, the clinical patho made ridiculously simple book would help simplify a lot of stuff especially for when you have 19 chapters to cover for a test , and you could not get to finish reading? ..:) all the chapters. It is ridiculously cheap too so i don't see any reason not to buy it. Also, the youtube has a lot of videos that would help you. One i particularly like is Andrew Wolf. Andrew Wolf pathophysiology gets you in…Good luck

I also used clinical Pathophysiology made ridiculously simple... And got an A in Advanced Pathophysiology :).

The book for the class was just WAY too big to do anything but read the chapters once (quickly lol).

I have to second the You Tube videos from Andrew Wolf. Actually, You Tube has MANY videos from professors, doctors etc. that cover just about anything on pathophysiology, especially when you get into your body systems. If you are a visual learner, you should definitely watch the videos on You Tube!
