grade scales in your school...

Nurses General Nursing

I am in my last semester of RN school and was just wondering how other RN schools grade the students. I attend a community college in Jacksonville, Florida. Here is our grading scale:

94-100=A

87-93 = B

80-86= C

79 or below is failing

10 point scale no + or -'s just A B C D or F

90-100 A

80-89 B

70-79 C

60-69 D

59 and below is an F.

Also if you have 1 number and any percentage after it, it rounds up :cool:

So 89.1 is an 90 :D

wendell mine was the same as yours.

Wow, that's a really tight grading scale. Not sure I could stand the pressure - LOL! I'm in an ADN program at the local community college that has the traditional 10 point scale: 90-100 A, 80-89 B, 70-79 C. 69 and below is failing.

Specializes in Corrections, Psych, Med-Surg.

There is a student nursing forum on this BB, if you want info from people currently in school.

Specializes in MS Home Health.

My BS/MS program had the same high score scale as first listed.

At my school a 77 and above is passing and a 77 is equivalent to a 2.5 GPA.

I'm from Jacksonville (live in OK now) and I remember all schools having that grading scale even grade school (except 70's were a D, I forgot what was failing). Now that I live in OK it's nice to have the 10 point scale like everyone else. In nursing school here, below 72 is failing.
