Reaction to passing NCLEX

No, I just jumped up and down like a raving lunatic.

Good luck!

I had my dh call up the testing hotline and then have him call me up at work during new grad orientation. He said it very slowly and with a disappointed tone in his voice, my stomach sunk and then he said, "Congratulations!!!!! You did it!". It took 5 seconds to register the news in my head. Then I let out a "SHUT -UP" at the top of my lungs and started bawling like a little girl. Then almost everyone in the group started crying as well.

Looking back it was quite funny.

I have to take mine tomarrow and I feel like throwing up. :/

Just curious... Have any of you actually thrown up after finding out you passed?
I ask because every time I think about passing the test, I have a queasy feeling in my stomach and truly believe I may puke when it actually happens. :chuckle
Am I alone on this? Am I just a freak (be honest. I can take it! )

I did not puke, but I was crying when I called in for my result, and I did not hear a word the voice was telling me, except for: Congratulations - you passed. After that I hugged and kissed my dog, because nobody else was around and he looked at me like "She's crazy". I mean if your dog gives you that look, what could be worse?

Hey, if puking is what you do then puke your brains out. Who cares.....as long as you pass! Good Luck!
