Pass/fail at your school

[NSGstudent12]

I am just wondering what everyone needs to pass nursing school where you are at. We have to have a 78 to pass (no rounding of course). What do you need at your school?

70

when I was a rad Tech it was 87.

74%. I can't recall rounding, except for one time...I received an 89.9% on one of my critical care exams in school which is technically a B+, but my instructors went ahead and gave me the A- :)

we must get an average of 78 on all of our exams before they count any quizzes, papers, projects in. then when they factor those in we still need to have a 78 or above (the quizzes, papers, etc are usually easy and are meant to boost your grade anyway)... BUT, they will round a 77.5 to a 78, which is nice of them.. although i know one guy who failed with a 77.4

77% well 76.5

78% to pass....

[NurseLoveJoy88, ASN, RN]

60% is a pass at my school.

Really? Wow.

At my school 75 is a passing, 74.999999 is failing

75% with rounding so at least a 74.5% and I believe you can on retake 1 Nursing class over 1x if you fail and you can only withdraw twice and gen ed classes have to have an equivalent of a C which other programs is 69.5%

My ADN program requires a 78% final grade in every class (77.9999999% is a fail). You can fail exams as long as they don't bring your final grade below 78%. Failing clinical means you fail the class, regardless of how high your grade was (I've never heard of anyone failing clinical though -- you'd have to just not do your work, period).

If you fail a class, you have to meet with the program director to discuss why you failed and why you think you deserve to be back in the program. If they let you back in, you've used up all your grace -- fail another class and you're out of the program permanently.

So far we lost about 10% from our "intro to nursing" class, then about 50% from the "fundamentals" class. Fail rate for Med-Surg I was only about 5%, probably because so many had already failed intro and fundamentals.

That's exactly how mine is except we dont have seperate final grades, just one final grade at the end each semester.

You have to have an exam average of 76%, an overall grade of 76%, and a satisfactory clinical performance.
