Not sure if going to graduate...

Published

I'm suppose to graduate December 22...graduation got postponed due to hurricane Rita went over our area and tore everything up. We were out of school 3 weeks. Anyway...I'm not sure if I going to graduate...took the last test and I'm .94 pt short of what I need to past the class. 1st 3 test were worth 20% each and final was worth 30%, which should equal 67.5 pts...(Don't know where they get the 67.5 from) I have 66.56....then they add our research paper to that score...it's worth 10%.. The teachers are suppose to hand grade my test to make sure there weren't any mistakes by the machine that grades them. Has anyone been in this situation before? I don't know what to expect...I know I failed by the pts...But I have done well in clinicals, projects, skills, etc. and I'm so close...i'm in shock...so don't know if there is really anything I can do about the situation.

This semester has been turmoil from the beginning. We got all the new teachers teaching critical care and they all wanted to go indepth about it. The test were not the greatest written. The class has went to the head of nursing with all the problems we have been experiencing, which has made the new teachers not very happy with our class. I do admit I'm not the A nursing student...I have had to work hard for every pt I made, never missed classes and have went for extra help.

We don't do HESI but we do what sounds like another version of it - ERI CAP tests. Usually after every clinical class & a big one at the end I think. We have to get at least the national average to pass the class (but we can retake it until we get it).

I Feel For You So Much ! I Too Had That Happen But I Did Fail By 1/100th Of A Pt. -in Other Words I Had A 74.99 And Needed A 75 To Continue. It Was Hell And I Was In Shock That The Teacher Would Even Fail Me For Such A Grade When We Did Reports (with No Grade) And Etc. I Put In A Grade Appeal And Won - Thanks To The Other Teachers!

I Wish That I Could Say That They Will Let You Grad With The Avg. -- I Guess You Need To Look At Your Teachers. Has This Happened B4? Do They Like You? Have They Said They Will Not Round Up?

I'll Pray For You, This Is A Hard Time For You. Let Me Know How It Goes.
