Just out of curiosity. What is passing at your school?

Published

The school that I attend has established a passing grade for all nursing classes at 80 (B), and all non-nursing classes a ©. What's passing at your school?

3.0 non-nursing, on a 4.0 scale. 3.5 nursing classes plus 4 pass-stay in/fail-out of program exams each semester.

Ours was 75 avg on exams, then when homework was added in if it still wasn't a 75 it wasn't passing. ( to make sure you didn't rely on one or the other for passing)

We had a dosage calculation exam every semester, 4 chances to pass it each semester. If we didn't get 100% by the 4th try we failed the semester.

non nursing is 50%

nursing classes are 63%

I think the USA has higher grading passes for classes...here in canada (at least in my province) those seem to be the norm but i know in the states its alot higher

That's a pretty low passing grade? Why so low? I mean 63 is really low!

you have to get a 70 on in all your nursing and science courses and maintain at least a 2.0 gpa at my school. i know 70 seems a bit low but i've heard our tests are much harder than the other schools nearby. since the nclex-rn pass rate is about 90% here (the highest in the region) i figure there must be some truth to that rumor.
