Evolve self-study courses?

[sugarmagnoliaRN]

I am thinking about enrolling in one of the Evolve "self-study" online courses... Pathophysiology. I am hoping to start nursing school in January but finished Patho in June, so i want to make sure I stay fresh on it! Has anyone taken one of these courses? Are they worth the money?

I'm a first year nursing student and I LOVE Evolve! There are practice NCLEX style questions as well as tests/quizzes on materials. There are interactive games, etc. I love this and reccommend it to all students!!

Thanks! I have used Evolve before for classes I was taking and used resources for an A&P textbook to study for the HESI. Have you ever used one of their courses that you have to pay for? I'm just trying to make sure I'll get my money's worth :)

This is my first semester of Nursing school and we were required to purchase them and we do the case studies for grades. I think were using the case studies for the next two years. I would check with your school first. That are a great learning tool though.

Yeah I had to purchase it because my book was used. It wasn't required, but reccommended. Worth it! I have the pharmacology evolve too!

I know they aren't required at my school; I already took Pathophysiology but just want to stay current with studying and retain all the info before the program starts in January (our school has us take some core nursing courses as part of our application process). Good to know that they have helped y'all! I think I'll go for it! Thanks for the responses :)
