Pathophysiology textbooks

Published

Specializes in Cardiac Critical Care.

I recently finished Pathophysiology online (before the Nursing program actually starts) but the textbook was very general. Can anyone recommend a more thorough textbook so I can refresh myself on this material before I start the actual Nursing program? I've got until January (hopefully) and I'm planning on spending this time refreshing A&P, Patho, and Pharm. Instructors, can you recommend a text that you teach in class? Our book was Frazier's Essentials of Human Diseases & Conditions. Any other nuggets of wisdom in terms of preparing for school are welcome as well! :D

Thanks!

you're just going to have to trust me on this, but what you want is the physiology coloring book. really. i used to recommend it (and its sister, the anatomy coloring book) to all my students. also available for downloading to computer or e-reader, but i'd recommend getting the paperback. check it out. you can thank me later :D.

physiology coloring book, the (2nd edition)
