GRADE SCALE?!

Published

Dear all

Hi,

I was wondaring when we are in nursing school what is a grade scale?! are we using A,B,C,D,F as we used in college?!

The reson I am asking that is I am US citizen but I am attending IRLAND university .I just recived my grades and it just saying PASS and for some other student it says FAIL ?!

I wonder is that going to effect me when I come back to USA and want to work there since since they don't report it in USA grade scale?!

some pepole tell me as long as I pass NCLEX exam I should be fine .I want to make sure so I don't waste my time and my money before it gets late .(I am in my second sem. in seconde year).I transfer the first year from US here!

Thank you very much for your advice and help.

That's really interesting. I know that our nursing school is not on the traditional college scale. Passing is 76% and our college doesn't round. If you have a 75.9% then you did not pass. I've seen it happen! You should contact the State Board of Nursing that you plan to work with...they could tell you about if the NCLEX is good enough or not.
