Just curious - our grading scale (RN) is: A (92-100), B (86-92) & C (80-86). Is this pretty consistent with all schools? Thanks!

Apr 3, 2009 The grading scale for my school is as follows:A 96-100A-93-95 B+ 91-92 B 88-90 B-86-87 C+ 83-85* C 80-82 C-77-79 D+ 74-76 D 70-73Any grade of C- or below is grounds for instant dismissal from the program, as is more than one grade of C+ or C.I'm also in a master's entry program, for what it's worth.
~Mi Vida Loca~RN, ASN, RN 5,259 Posts Specializes in Emergency Dept. Trauma. Pediatrics. Has 6 years experience. Apr 3, 2009 Our non nursing grading scale is different then our nursing grading scale. I am assuming you are asking for the nursing one. Ours is94-100 A87-93 B78-86 CBelow 78 you fail I think I got that right, it's been about a month since I looked but I am pretty sure that is right.Oh and my stupid school does not have any - or + you get either an A B or C 4.03.02.0When I went from a college that had things like 3.7 to my college all my grades dropped except for my 4.0

CaptScrubs13 184 Posts Apr 3, 2009 A (4.0) = 94-100 A- (3.7) = 90-93B+ (3.3) = 87-89B (3.0) = 84-86B- (2.7) = 80-83C+ (2.3) = 77-79We must keep a 77 to continue on in the program.
RhodyGirl, RN 823 Posts Specializes in Med/Surg. Apr 3, 2009 I feel really bad for some of you! Our grading scale (BSN) is:93-100 = A90-92 = A-87-89 = B+83-86 = B80-82 = B-77-79 = C+74-76 = CAnything below a 74 is a failing grade.
Pack RN 16 Posts Apr 3, 2009 Thanks for sharing everyone! It sounds like things are a little different across the board. I didn't specify, but my scale is just for nursing courses. I wonder what impact different scales have (if any) when applying to BSN completion/MSN programs, since not everything looks like it's apples-to-apples.
JenRN30, BSN 289 Posts Specializes in Endoscopy/MICU/SICU. Has 10 years experience. Apr 4, 2009 Wow, we have it pretty good.A+ 97-100A 90-96B+ 87-89B 80-86C 74-79lower than 74 failYou get two failures and you're dismissed from the program
~Mi Vida Loca~RN, ASN, RN 5,259 Posts Specializes in Emergency Dept. Trauma. Pediatrics. Has 6 years experience. Apr 4, 2009 Our non nursing classes are the 90-100 80-99 etc. scale. I wish our nursing was too LOL
JenRN30, BSN 289 Posts Specializes in Endoscopy/MICU/SICU. Has 10 years experience. Apr 4, 2009 I know. I'm really glad my program is like that. We still have a 96% NCLEX pass rate, so it works out for us.
