by Kbartholomay Mar 14, '12I go to school out in las Vegas & I was told by one of our "high ups" that if we wanna get the B average rule changed we needed to get all the schools together to rally against it. We need to get all the students to sign a petition saying we are against this & so is our nursing boards. Please reply back with emails and i can email someone from each school this petition and they can get their students to sign against it. We are paying for this $50,000 so for them to deny us because of a C when that's considered a passing grade is WRONG! please get back to me so we can change this!!!

What are you considering to be a "C". It is common for nursing schools to consider anything below 80 to be failing.DawnCaprice likes this. - Mar 14, '12 by KbartholomayLike what schools??? Cause none that i have contacted they all consider 70% passing
- Mar 14, '12 by mindlorWell every school I have ever heard of.
I challenge you to find another school that will accept a 70 as passing. I think I have heard of some letting 75 slide by..... - Mar 14, '12 by KbartholomayI'm not sure where you live but here in Nevada & California they are ALL C. So thank you for your comments but if you not from this school & interested in helping then your comments are not needed. Thanks
- Mar 14, '12 by mindlorI am trying to orient you to reality.
You are wasting your time.
My girlfriend goes to ITT/Breck here in Tampa and we have been down this road.
The grading scale is not going to change... -
Mar 20, '12 by sali22They can make there own grading scale. Im assuming if you got a grade for nclex if would have to be a "b" or higher -
Mar 20, '12 by DawnCapriceI am a student at Itt/Breck in Tallahassee and I have NO desire to change the grading scale. It is what it is and I am going to try my hardest to keep 90's. I personally do not want to be a patient and have a nurse that was happy with just making C's. I want a nurse who knows his/her stuff!
I will NOT be one to help or join a petition of this sort. I will also agree with the previous posters, almost everywhere I have heard in Florida requires at least an 80 to pass.FutureNurseFromFL and Manda1901 like this. -
Mar 20, '12 by skulskcc01All the Nursing Schools in my area anything less than a 76% is failing. So good luck with that. - Mar 20, '12 by NewSN13Quote from DawnCapriceAmen! I push myself hard to learn the material because when this is all said and done, peoples' health and well-being is going to be at the mercy of my knowledge and abilities. This is serious business and if anything, I would push to set the bar higher, not lower.I am a student at Itt/Breck in Tallahassee and I have NO desire to change the grading scale.

(75%+ to pass in my program, for what it's worth)
