   mfigueroa22 replied to natalciapl's topic in LPN to RN

   mfigueroa22 replied to mfigueroa22's topic in LPN, LVN Students

   An 80 is a b in my book. Most college and universities are on the 10 point scale here in NC so an 80-90 is a B and 90-100 is an A. So that means I have to have a B average to pass. It's a little...
