Nursing School Tests/Starting Salary/Per Diem

Published

Hi,

Do all schools (BSN or RN programs) require a 75 (C+)to pass the class. I heard some schools allow one failing grade and then if a person gets another grade below a 75, then they are kicked out. Is this true. Or do some schools accept a C as passing? What would be a starting salary for a new BSN graduate in the NJ/NYC area? Also, what about per diem?

Thanks!:redbeathe:heartbeat

Passing requirements vary widely by school. My school required a 74 to pass, and passing of both lecture and clinical components to pass a course. We were only allowed one repeat of a clinical course before being kicked out of the program. Check with the nursing department of the school you are interested in.

You might find more information about starting salaries in your area by checking out the Regions forum.

What do you want to know about per diem? I feel the question is a little too broad to answer without more information about what you want to know.

Hope this helps.

my school requires a 76 to be considered passing. (100-92 A, 91-84 B, 83-76 C). and also allow you to retake one course within the program, once you fail a second try, you're out.

My program requires a 74 to pass. If you fail a course in the program, you're allowed to retake it once. After that, you're dismissed. You could try the regional forums for NJ and NY to get more insight on payscales.

At my school, for the nursing classes. grading is as follows:

90-100 - A

84-89 = B

78- 83 = C

Anything below 78 is a d or f, and you have to get at least a C to pass

If you fail a class, you have to repeat the semester. Fail 2 classes and you're out of the program.
