Hello all! Thank you very much for your input. I am compiling the data that you have all provided. I still have some time to put the project together so I hope to hear from more student nurses! I wish you all the best and I hope that the information everyone is sharing puts things into perspective :)

Apples&Oranges, I am sorry to hear that you lost so many colleagues! I remember losing a couple of good friends my first semester as well. Some of them came back for a second attempt and still failed. You have to be a nursing student or have been one in order to understand how difficult it really can be! I wish you the best of luck and hope that you don't lose anymore people.

Hello NiftyGirl2014, Your program's grading scale also seems very intense. I am wondering how often students get A's in your program? I hope that you can answer the poll question I have added to the thread. Most of the grades I have gotten in my program would have landed me straight C's in yours. That means that I would graduate with a 2.0 and would have to apply to graduate programs with that GPA. Once again thank you for your help and I wish you the best of luck in the future!

Hello SopranoKris, First of, congrats on your acceptance! I think it is great that you are driven and are thinking past the BSN. Nurses like you will definetely change the field of nursing. once again thank you.

Hello augurey, Wow! My hat is off to you my friend for going through such a fierce program. I hope that you have been able to attain the grades you deserve. In my program a 78% is a C so it is still on the higher side but not compared to yours by any means. Now, since your grading scale seems to be one of the highest would you mind answering these questions as well for me? Do you plan to further your education & if so what is your ultimate career goal? Do you feel that the grading scale your institution has implemented has helped or hindered this goal of yours? Once again thank you for sharing and keep good luck!

Thank you SopranoKris for your post it will kick start this research. I have two more questions for you. Do you plan to further your education and if so what is your ultimate career goal? If so, do you feel that the grading scale your institution has implemented has helped or hindered this goal of yours? Once again thank you for sharing. -maleRN2MSN

Hello all, I am conducting research for my ADN program. The focus of my research is the grading scales other ADN programs are using. I would greatly appreciate your help on this project. All I need is for you to provide the name of your school along with the grading scale used in your program. If plus or minus are used (i.e. A+, A-) then please include that information. Thank you very much for your time and support. -Fellow ADN student.
