I'm set to graduate in December and plan on passing my boards ASAP (hoping anyway...). I was thinking of taking a little trip or something and that got me curious...

How did the rest of you celebrate the big day??

Y'all may give me new ideas anyway.

I found out that I had passed as I was driving to move to my new job. I had accepted a position 8 hours away and I hadn't heard back yet. I set out to move and my sister called when I was 4 hours away and said that I had received my letter. I celebrated that night by being homesick and alone in a new town.

Hubby gifted me with a new car ☺ Well, three years old, but new to me and one he knew I had wanted for a while. I remember walking out of the test-taking center and feeling really unsure of myself and the results of my test. I looked down and found a penny in the parking lot. I felt like it was a "sign"! (I did pass ?!) (I hope this thread wasn't meant for NP's only...I took the NCLEX and am a RN)
