Are you graded on your clinicals?

Published

It sounds like some of you are, or im just not understanding the lingo.

We are given a grade for the nursing course, but the clinical is just pass or fail.

Is this common?

Our clinicals are graded satisfactory, must improve and unsatisfactory. They do not count toward our course grade or GPA. If you get unsatisfactory, you fail. If you get must improve more than once sutff happens, but I don't know what...

Ours are letter grade for the course work portion, S or U for clinical portion. If a U is the grade for clinical you fail the course, reguardless of letter grade.

Our clinicals are also pass/fail but the clinical paperwork is graded and added into the points needed for passing the entire course.

Our clinicals are pass/fail. There is usually a paper or project that is graded and added into our letter grade though.

pass/fail at my school too. We get a midterm evaluation from our instructor as well as a final evaluation.

my clinicals are also pass/fail, but you do get something like a point system. its +1 -overperforming, 0 -performing, -1 -underperfoming. what these mean and how they worked is still a mystery to me.
