    In my program any grades anything below 77% is failing. All clinicals must be passed and it is a pass/fail grade only we have a skills lab as well and that is pass/fail also. The grading system at my school is also different than most. (We are also charged $50/hr if we miss clinical and need to make it up...YIKES!)
    A 95-100
    A- 92-94
    B+ 89-91
    B 86-88
    B- 83-85
    C+ 80-82
    C 77-79

    Can't make less than 80% in any nursing class.
    No less than a C in other classes such as A&P.

    It's crazy to see such a wide range of requirements. Our passing minimum is a 78. They had a 'two tests lower than 70 and you're out' rule, but did away with it this semester. We are allowed 3 tries on clinical skill check-offs.

    79% average for any nursing class. YIKES! When I started it was 74%. All nursing students must have a 2.0 to stay in the nursing program (haha).

    At Miami Dade College, you have to have at least a 77% to pass, 85% for a B, 93% for an A . There isn't any special requirements for medical math....77% to pass. Clinicals are pass/fail. ATI testing at the end of each semester. 1st semester ATI score does not count.
    For skills we get three tries at everything. You have to pass each of your skills to go on to the next semester...but again you get three tries.

    Not too hard...but we have lost a few.

    Now that the semester is over, I'd have to say the first semester was easier than prerequisites. Next semester is all med/surg....I'm thinkin its gonna get harder.
