Grades in Graduate School

Published

I need information regarding grades in graduate school. Are "C"s acceptable in grad school, will they dismiss one from an FNP program for making one? I am considering taking 2 classes online this fall--Patho and Role Development. Is this too much for starters? Online classes give much more work in my opinion. I am wondering can I do it. Please help. I work a weekender position 12 hours every Sat. and Sun. I work 1 - 12 hour shift every other week. Any advice that any FNP graduate gives is welcomed and appreciated. :rolleyes:

From what I understand, in grad school, one cannot get a grade lower than a B.

Grad school is very different from undergrad. There is little to no weeding out - they want you to succeed. My lowest grad school grade was a B+ and I'm no brainiac! Good luck.
