How did you celebrate passing your boards?

Published

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 bought a Waterman pen.

I assume you mean a writing utensil. I'm lucky to keep up with the ones the DME or hospice agencies drop off....

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)

NCLEX can totally count! I just went straight into MSN after I graduated so now that I'm finishing this I feel like I'll finally be a "big girl nurse" (as in my ultimate goal). So it is NOT that RN's are not big girl nurses lol. Or maybe I better say any other person in the nursing field lol.

I have been forced to do work and school together since I was 16 so it's kind of a celebration of having something like a social life again too. yippee!!

It snowed (a rarity in TN) so I was stuck at home alone since my husband was out of town. I drank a bottle of wine, slept, and read a fun book for the first time in ages :)
