Grading Scale For Your Nursing Program........

[MQ Edna]

:) PLEASE RESPOND. THANK YOU.

Hello, again.

Please I am asking everyone that comes by, to please please please respond to this message and not just read it and then go on by. Please do respond to it. Thank you so much.

What is your grading scale for the nursing program that you are attending right now, or will be attending in the future, or already attended [if it has been 1 yr or 30 yrs or more, does not matter]. I want to know and need to know. Thank you.

The reason why I am wanting this information is because the nursing program that I am attending right now, the grading scale is as follow: 93 to 100 = A

86 to 92 = B

80 to 85 = C

74 to 79 = D

73 or below = F

Yes, I want to compare our grading scale and yes I am getting up a petition to take to the President of my college to have the grading scale changed for the nursing program.

I have talked to several nursing students who goes to several other colleges and their grading scale is on a 10 point grading scale...meaning, 90 to 100 = A; 70 - 79 = C -- Passing.

So please, don't just read this message and not respond to it. I would love to hear from you thank you.

And also, the nursing program that I am going through is an ADN program, 2 years.

We have 4 levels that we have to proceed through.

And believe me, none of them [the Levels], prepares you for the following level(s). But each instructors in the following level(s) expects you to come in there knowing it all.

Also, thank you for stopping by and reading the other message I have posted ["Will I ever become a Nurse..."]. Your encouaging words and support means so much to me during this time of my life. Thank you.

:D :D :D

Our grading scale was as follows

100-92=A

91-84=B

83-75=C

74-70=D

below F

The scale for nursing has always been harder but your school is ridiculouw it is like they are trying to make you not succeed. I hope you are successful with your petition.

75 is passing but there are schools where 73 is as well.

The grading scale in my ADN program is 56-65%-F;66-76%-D;77-83%-C,84-93%-B,94%+-A

[BeachNurse]

Mine was something like

90-100 A

80-90 B

75-79 C

Below 75, D: and fail the course/fail out of nursing school! Pretty tough..

[cwazycwissyRN, RN]

93-100=A

86-92 =B

80-85 =C

=F

3 tries to pass math test. Could not miss more that two. Do not remember how many problems.

Below C in any class or fail math test and you were out of the program, could reaply for next year.

100% pass rate for my class sitting a state boards.

The next year the students in the program were dropping like flies. Could not seem to get the grade. The school lowered the grade scale. Pass rate at the state boards went down the tubes. :imbar

High standards are tuff:eek: but so rewarding in the end:cool:

Challenge yourself to be the best and go for it:kiss

mine is like this

90-100=A

89-80=B

79-70 C

[RNIAM, BSN, RN]

All I know without going to my nursing handbook is that anything below a 75 is a fail for the program.

hope I helped!

revision i don't know what i was thinking but below 72 is fail but i believe the rest is accurate. we also can not make below 72% average on tests no matter what test grades are averaged separately.

Hey...I want you to know that I'm only replying at your request :) .

I'm not in my program yet and am not sure what the grading scale will be. I do, however think that it will be harder than the scale the rest of my school uses--which is:

A 93-100

B 85-92

C 77-84

[wv_nurse 2003]

93-100 A

86-92.99 B

80-85.99 C

Below an 80 is failing

[mecon]

I applaud your faculty for maintaining a high standard of academic excellence. Quality nursing care demands qualified nurses. I'm ashamed to say that my school has lowered its grading scale:

100-89.5=A

79.5-89.4=B

75-79.4=C

The faculty claims it must be consistant with the grading scale established throughout the state university system.

Hogwash!

But I really don't give a hoot...it's my last semester!

[Little One2]

My grading system is different. Probably because I'm not from the states. It would be pointless to response to this thread.

-A A +A 80 - 100

-B B +B 70 - 80

-C C +C 60 - 70

-D D +D 50 - 60

My director of nursing says that C students may need to take a refresher course when taking boards and that A students need not too. Well I disagree it is the individual. I am a B/C student and had no problems passing my boards but found some of our A students lack common sense which is 90% nursing. The grading scale is nothing more than bureaucratic (sp) nonsense. Nursing schools should teach reality not utopian theory?!
