For the teenager with singed eye brow, look out for airway with that, and according to kaplan, it is normal for a babies fontanel to bulge when they cry, all the best to you. Someone correct me if am wrong.

Congratulations RN I also took it last month and failed. I'm taking it again next month and I hope to be joining you in the "pass" mode. What did you do differently this time compared to the first time? I'm trying Suzanne's plan using Saunder's Comprehensive Review.

Yes I agree with you. From what I learned in Kaplan, it is normal for babies to have bulging fontanel when they cry. It wouldn't be a priority.

I was much more focused this time. After graduation we did a week long review with a manual. I went through that again on my own and did a ton of questions.

This time I pulled out my Saunders and started reveiwing content and answering the questions. I then paid for the kaplan question bank and absolutely loved that. Also did the kaplan cd-question trainer. I did about 150-200 questions a day for a few weeks.

But I really had to change my attitude. I went in the first time like a deer in headlights. This time I went in telling myself not to be scared--I can do this.

I also went back to the person that did our review and did a retakers seminar. He really reinforced techniques for answering questions, priorities and so on. He did a wonderful job.

I stopped doing anything that had to do with NCLEX two days before and tried to relax. Easier said than done.

Congratulations, Chiefy!! Sounds like you followed a really great plan there and you have the results to show for it!

Really good advice: stop studying for 24-48 hours before the exam. It worked for me at finals.

Thanks everyone! I think Im still numb. Numb but happy.

We all worked hard to get to this point--it is possible!

Congratulations! You should be so proud for sticking with it and ultimately succeeding in the end. Do something wonderful for yourself. You deserve it, RN!
