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.
We also have to pass a math test every semester. We get two tries to get 100%, then, we are out of the program. No one has ever failed the math test the second time around though. We have a 100% pass rate for the NCLEX, so if you make it through the program, you are pretty much guaranteed to pass your boards. The problem is it's really tough to make it through the program.
Your school's grading system seems pretty good to me!

:D :D :D
Ours was the same as yours and anything under a C was failing...it was only the nursing school though not the rest of the college and supposedly it was to weed people out...we had a very high passing rate on the boards which was actually why I chose to go there in the first place.
I don't know the rest, never gotten below a B/A in a nursing class. I think it's ridiculous to get up to a 94% and get a 3.5. If I was at a school were a B/A or A- was a 3.7 I'd have an amazing GPA...
This is a 4 yr BSN. You also need a test average of 75% to pass as well as an overall average of at least 75% to pass. We also have skills validation each semester and math tests.
Anything below a 78% you fail the class. They won't even consider skills test out points until you get a 78% or above on your tests. Sucks because, for some reason, I keep getting 90% on everything....

Our school is pretty strict.
90-100=A
80-89.9=B
75-79.9=C
Below 75=F
And yes, they fail people that get a 74.9.
We also have to pass a math test every semester. We get two tries to get 100%, then, we are out of the program. No one has ever failed the math test the second time around though. We have a 100% pass rate for the NCLEX, so if you make it through the program, you are pretty much guaranteed to pass your boards. The problem is it's really tough to make it through the program.
