At what point do you actually CELEBRATE??

I am a RN student, and have been thinking about this, so was wondering what you all did.......... Did you like celebrate upon graduation - you know party, small get together - whatever....., or did you celebrate after pinning ceremony, or did you wait and celebrate after you passed the NCLEX?? I have thought about it, and figured, I'd be happy when I graduated, but won't truly be an RN until i pass the NCLEX, so wanted to save my celebration until then.

Would love to hear from you who have been there, done that.

I finished school on September 13 and went out to dinner with friends. I graduated October 15th and my husband took me out to dinner. I took the NCLEX on November 29th and found out I passed the next day and partied at home with neighbors. I got a new job last week (cath lab nurse) and went out to dinner with the in-laws.

Don't hold back. You have alot to celebrate. Each step is a step in the process and each step should be celebrated (not necessarily with excessive alcoholic beverages or the like) but you have come so far. Take a little time to celebrate and to reflect on all the hard work you have done.

PARTY!!!:balloons: :rotfl:
