What will you do after you graduate and take NCLEX?

I am 22. I have been waiting for this year since I was 18. The year I graduate from Nursing school. I know I have alot of work ahead of me and I hope I'm not jinxing myself by posting this. What will you do after you graduate and Pass NCLEX? I never had any big birthdays, no sweet 16, no party after HS Graduation, No go out and get drunk for 21st. Nothing. I think once I graduate nursing school and pass NCLEX, that may all change. I may either go out and get drunk with some friends. My mom wants to take me to New Orleans (and we can get drunk. A 23 y.o. and a 69 y.o.), that's fine but I'm thinking I wanna do something with my Nursing School friends too. So what will you do?

Once I get a job I plan on making a mini-me.

I realized afterward that you probably meant a child, but my first thought was, "Me too!" because I want to mentor nursing students when I get the chance. :)

Good for you I would do the same thing and blow off some steam LOLFor me my plan is to continue working a part time job to start with paying off my loans and move to Brooklyn for some time. Hopefully I wont struggle too much with finding a job given the economy and the tendency of new graduates not being preferred because we lack experience or they do not want to train us

" a month off the grid on some remote caribbean island. already saved up for it " That sounds SOOOOOO nice! Ugh I'm jealous! I'm down with the school uniform bonfire too, except I may sell mine back to the school and get some cash. I would like to move back to Arizona, but I don't have the money so for now that will have to wait. I'm just gonna have a weekend where I probably party, then never drink again. I am NOT a big drinker, I've had maybe 2 drinks in 3 years. So I'm gonna get the partying outta my system, then look for a job!

My first thought was Dr. Evil...

Ill be working :) We can work as an RN-A(applicant) until we pass NCLEX so I hope to do that. As for any fancy parties...we have a reception after our pinning ceremony, and maybe me and the kids and my husband will do something special :)

Take some time off to travel around Europe, and then after I nail that first job, start looking for my

first house. I. Can't. Wait.
