92-100=A 86-91=B 80-85=C 0-79.999999999999=F Clinical is pass/fail. Dosage/calculation test must be passed with 100%, 3 tries. Any bonus points or extra credit is null and void unless you have an 80% or higher. Meaning, if you have a 79.999999999999%...

I'm doing Micro M-F and Pharm M-Th. Should be a nice long summer.

Case study?

I swear by NurseMates. They're the closest thing to barefoot.

Try 60%! That's right, we lose about 60% from begining to end. Honestly, I thought all grading scales were like ours. WooHoo on your 86% !! That's awesome!

I hate our grading scale! I understand the point behind it, but I get so stressed out over it... 92-100=A 86-91=B 80-85=C 0-79.999999999999=F

4 semester we pick up another clinical day. For now, one day a week is enough! LOL Seriously, we work our butts off, we're usually assigned 2-4 patients. I'd LOVE to be a nurse on that floor. On our clincial days, the nurses just sit around and gab b...

When I first got into the nursing program, my goal was to get all A's. Now I just want to pass. As far as I know, a couple (and I do mean a COUPLE) of people have had all A's.

-Theory twice a week (T-Th, 9:30-12:00) -Seminar once a week (T- 12-1:00) -Clinical once a week (W-7-3:30) **extra stuff that's not on the cute little course catalogue** -Clinical research once a week at hospital (T- 2:00-3:30 or 4) -Lab time, practi...

Amen sister! I work 24-32 hours per week, take 2 nursing classes (although last semester I took 4), and have two kiddos. Next fall I'm taking 15 credit hours. It's possible, but stressful.

Our whole grading system is weird. I think It'd make just as much sense if they just lined up Bozo buckets and tossed in balls with percentage points written on them. We get a slew of tests worth 100 pts each, except for the dosage and calculation te...

Oh definitely! My clinical group has joked that we should be given blow darts loaded with Prozac to shoot at uptight clincal instructors who are over-the-top uptight.

I don't work full time, but I do work and have a husband and kids. I'm a CNA in a LTC facility. Since they're open 24/7, it's easier to get my hours in and still have time for school. Of course, time for sleep is another story...LOL

What an appropriate thread, as I am currently considering exchanging my CNA position for a nurse extern position. The pay rate is $13.90 with no benefits, just lots of experience. I look forward to reading the replies!

Me too! That class is my biggest complaint, and I have to take it each semester...AND, we MUST pass it with an 80% or better or we're dropped from the program! I can't believe the workload we get for one credit hour....research papers, health fair pr...

That's about right on with my school. We started out with 70 RN students. Only about 40 of them (including me, Yeah!) made it to 2nd semester, but then a lot of LPN transition students and 2nd semester students from the previous year (those who made ...

I have a 5 year old and an 8 year old. Sometimes I feel guilty, then I remind myself of all the benefits we'll have when I finish and can begin real career.

I work, go to nursing school, and have a husband and 2 kids. It's possible, but very difficult. I wouldn't recommend it.

90%?? I needed 100% to pass (3 tries), no exceptions!

I just bought a few pairs of solid white underwear...they were easier to find than 'no-see-through' pants.

I say go for it! I'm taking micro with pharm this summer. I know it will be difficult, but do-able. Good luck!
