LadyEJ BSN, RN 222 Posts Specializes in Clinicals. Dec 24, 2008 That does seem odd...in my program (BSN) if you fail a class you must retake the failed class over in the following semester. You cannot take any other nursing classes in that semester. But I've never heard of retaking classes that you have successfully passed.

gillytook 207 Posts Dec 26, 2008 Unfortunately in my program the semester is one class worth 10-11 credits. You get a letter grade for lecture and pass/fail for clinicals and lab. Flunk any you flunk all.
1andrea1 32 Posts Dec 26, 2008 In my program (community college), if you fail any part you fail it all. The only grades that we get are from our exams in lecture and lab. I know of people that got an A or B in class and an unsatisfactory in clinical and that turned their grade into an automatic D - they have to repeat it all. I don't know how universities do it, they would probably take your credits though.
