   Newnurse29 replied to EmilyEmily's topic in General Students

   My Nursing program required a 79% in order to pass, plus had hands on tests in our lab each semester (auto fail the class if you fail the lab test which had random scenarios and it was considered a fail if you made 2 errors or 1 potentially fatal/maj...

   I didn't mean to sound like I was complaining or making excuses.. But thank you for the encouragement! Sounds like our instructors were similar although the situation you described sounds even more harsh. We didn't have anyone quit, but did have roug...

   Np2015, my nursing classes were a lot like that too, especially with our Med Surg Instructor. We had 3 classes throughout the program and there wasn't a single A given out to any student.

   Basically the same thing as the post I just commented on. Although what you are saying is correct, it isn't correct in my situation and the topic at hand. But, I would still like to thank you for your input and opinion.

   Although I do respect your opinion, and I agree with what you are saying in most circumstances, I feel you are degrading me when it isn't warranted. Assuming you read my posts, my GPA is low because of schooling I did fresh out of high school when I...

   I would be willing to try.. But if it only worked for 3 classes it wouldn't do me a whole lot of good. I had a couple years worth of not showing up to class F's back when I first went to school starting 10 years ago.

   I don't remember off the top of my head to be honest. I do know that they mainly looked at the science pre-req's (3 bio's, 1 chem, 1 micro) which I had all A's with 2 B's and the math pre req that I got an A in. While in the nursing program itself, ...

    I just graduated with an associates degree in May and have just joined the workforce as an RN. Due to bad self discipline after high school, my GPA isn't very good (2.5). But, once I went back to school (for nursing), about 7 years later, I never fa...
