Unless there is a universal grading system for all nursing schools, grades should not be a major determining factor during the hiring process for new graduates. My GPA at the end of my last semester was 92.3%. Am I an "A" student or a "B" student? At most institutions I am an "A" student. At my institution I am a "B" student. Our grading scale is 94-100=A, 87-93=B, 80-86=C, 79=Failing. It is disheartening to think a new grad with a 90% average would be chosen over me just because his/her transcript shows an "A" and mine shows a "B".
