Need advice - WWYD?
So my H has been in the process of getting a security clearance and applying for a government job for almost a year now. He finally has his start date and we bought a home about two hours away. I told one of my co-workers because she recently went though the home-buying process (we're first time homebuyers) and because I knew I could trust her not to say anything to anyone else. I did not want to tell my boss because I know she enjoys nothing more than to gossip and I'm not sure what I can tell people about my H's job yet.
I ended up having to tell my boss because my employer wanted my original copy of my nursing license and I wasn't sure if I needed the original to transfer it to the state we're moving to. I explicitly told her numerous times that I did not want any of our other co-workers to know. I obviously don't have my license in the state we're moving to yet and I don't know when I'm leaving my current job because of this.
She told a few people outside of our department, I was a little upset but let it go. Yesterday I found out from the co-worker I did tell that all the other people in our department know but "it's supposed to be a secret".
Would you confront your boss? I'm basically in a satellite office and she's only here with me once or twice a week. Should I just let this go, knowing that I'm going to be moving and getting another job soon?
ETA: Part of me is a little bummed too that I couldn't share the news myself.

It wasn't my coworker that told, it was my boss. I had to tell her why I didn't want to give HR my original nursing license.
I can totally trust my coworker, it's my loose-lipped boss that I can't trust.
Yeah that's for sure. It was the secretary from our main office that told my coworker she knew and "it was supposed to be a secret". I'm just going to let it go. I've been there over five years and I feel a little hurt and betrayed. We work for a small grant program and we're all pretty close.
