FNP Advanced Pathophysiology HELP

Nursing Students NP Students

Updated:   Published

I begin my FNP program next week (yikes). I have researched a few websites that seem promising for Advanced Patho study questions and notes. They are as follows:

studyguidezone.com/fnp.htm

http://www.mednotes.net/notes/pathophysiology

Can anyone suggest any books or other websites that they used as studyguides? Does anyone have any experience with the websites I just posted and can offer up if they are a waste of time?

Thank you so much!

"Study Guide to Accompany Pathophysiology: Concepts of Altered Health States" (any edition will do) by Carol Porth.

"Pathophysiology: Concepts of Altered Health States" textbook by Carol Porth.

"Pathophysiology made incredibly easy" book (any edition will do).

"Clinical Pathophysiology Made Ridiculously Simple" by Aaron Berkowitz.

Any study guides for the Pathophysiology textbooks are helpful.

Sara,

I am just starting my NP program as well. Please let me know if you find out any helpful tips for advanced patho. I don't take it until next fall, but I hear it is a bear. Good luck.

Step 1 review materials...Golgian, etc. Look on amazon. "Rapid Review" got me through pathophys. Look up the topic, and boom there you have a nice outline form all the s/s, tx, labs, etc.

I picked up this suggestion way back from a MD poster who used to troll the boards. I honestly don't know if the suggestion was sincere or some NP joke I didn't get, but the advice was golden. Plus, the thing is wayyy cheaper that any of the required texts.

I got First Aid too, but it was not as useful as Golgian (of course, I was not using it for it's intended purpose, i.e. to prepare a med student for their first boards).
