You would still be able to drive it with a blown head gasket (I did with my old car for 3 months) depending if any damage was done to the motor when it overheated - how hot did it get when the hose blew or how long did it take to notice? Look for signs of oil in water or vice versa (brown emulsion crap), bubble in the radiator with the cap off and the engine running, etc.
