Grading Scale

I just started school, and my grading scale is the same. (78%=lowest C) I am a good student, but it is scarry knowing you have to do better than normal. Our professors said it was because they are getting us ready to pass the NCLEX-RN and they have a comparable pass scale. Also they said to remember C=RN. No one is going to ask for your GPA when you are trying to get a job after school. Hope this helps!!!

i'm trying to remind myself that C=RN too, although i don't know how well i would accept more than one C!... i didn't find out until yesterday that the nursing grading scale was different than the pre-reqs, needless to say i'm a little stressed!

3rd Semester, Pediatrics/OB. Rest of program similar.

A. METHOD OF EVALUATION:

Course grades will be based upon the following percentages:

Final Exam 25%

Unit exams 60%,

Quizzes and other assignments 5%

HESI exam 10%

=100%

Students must achieve a minimum of 75% in order to pass RNSG 1251.

Grade Scale: A= 90 - 100, B= 83 - 89, C= 75 - 82, D= 65 - 74, F= 64 or below.

To pass course you must have a final percentage of 75 or greater. There will be no rounding up, example: 74.99% is a D.

The grading scale for your nursing program is right on target with other nursing schools. They grade on a curve to weed out those who are not serious enough for a program that requires dedication and commitment. Stay on track. You'll do fine.

My school requires at least an 80% for the course in order to move on.

A = 94 - 100

B = 87 - 93

C = 80 - 86

D = 75 - 79

F = 0 - 74

The way I see it, I want a nure caring for my son who is competent... not one who just barely got by!

Oh and by the way, your grades will definately help you score the job you want as a new nurse. Also, when you apply as a student nurse/tech, lots of places hire students w/ the highest grades first! So think about that. But, why would you settle for a C anyways? If you ask me, I wouldnt want a nurse to take care of my family who barely knows what they are doing.

Our nursing instructors tell us to remember that C=RN because they know how much pressure we put on ourselves. Everone who gets in to a nursing program anymore is a good student. Just the requirements to apply are rough!! I am good at critical thinking, but the first test is really freaking me out! I have a lot on me plate, besides going to nursing school. I am a perfectionist, and have a 4.0 gpa so far for my pre-reqs. I just know that I can't put that much pressure on myself especially when the grading scale is tougher. However, I went to a private school till 8th grade, and my grading scale was a 7 point scale. I did fine then, I am sure I'll do good now. By the way-where I live the hospitals do not look at gpa. The school I am going to is very respected in the area and just graduating from my school puts us at the top of the list for hires.

student456,

I am just curious as to where you do go to school in canada?

I'm getting ready to apply to schools through out canada and I saw a reply that you posted that said that you and your friends got in right away with 65%-75% grades, and I was just wondering where this was at?

thank you!

100-94 = A

93-90 = A-

89-88 = B+

87-86 = B

85-84 = B-

83-82 = C+

81-80 = C

Anything below a 80% is failing
