Passing grade for your nursing school

anything below a 78% at my school is failing.

Our passing grade is 75

It varies, depending on the course. For A&P I & II it was 80, for maths for meds it was 90, some courses are 70, some are 60. I guess it depends on the importance that the school puts on the course. Our clinical placements and labs are pass/fail... no grade.

We have to have a 75% on our exams, before any other work is considered. If we have a 74 before the exams, they will add the other work in, report that grade to the school, and then you will be kicked out.

Our passing grade is 77%.

70% or higher is considered passing in my program.

75 for us too.

78% on exams.

90% on the drug calculation test.

At my school it is a GPA of 3.0 on nursing courses. We need a C in each class, but our total GPA must be a 3.0 to continue.

In math for meds we need an average score of 90 to be eligible to take the final, but then the final figures the total grade and if one doesn't do a 90 then it will affect total score. I had a 93% going in... then got an 86 on the final... I'm still waiting for my final grade.

I go to a private school without a waiting list for nursing. If someone fails to make a C in a course, they may take it again. You may fail 3 classes (3 C's), and be allowed to retake them and stay in the program. It's nice to not have being dropped from the program hanging over my head! I am on a scholarship though, and that hangs over my head!

You need a 78 average plus a "Passing" score in clinicals. There is no letter grade for clinicals just a Pass or Fail.

A cumalative score of 80% to pass nursing classes. Clinical is pass/ fail grade.

I notice the trend for minimum passing grades in actual nursing courses is between 70-75. This makes me wonder why the instructors in the program I'm in made our passing grade 80. I feel this has much increased the failure rate and..Well, it just seems unfair. Who is the usual determing factor as to what the passing grade is, I wonder? The DON, the instructor themselves, or someone else? Anyone know?
