What is Considered Passing at Your School??

[hangnon]

I'm in my 3rd quarter of my ADN RN program and am just curious as to what marks other students here have to have to pass.

I have to get a 78% or above on my all exams to be considered passing....we lost about 5 people over the last 2 quarters too. Yikes! :uhoh21:

[twinmommy+2, ADN, BSN, MSN]

75% for all exams

90% for math exams

pass or fail for clinicals

[kjsLPN]

You must maintain an average of 2.6 gpa and pass all clinicals.

[abundantjoy07, RN]

75 is where passing starts.

[icyounurse, BSN, RN]

we had to have 80%.

[AKAKatydid]

For us C or above is considered passing!

My school doesn't use the +/- on grades, so this is where it gets tricky. Some teachers are strict: if you're at a 70, this would be a C- and therefore not passing - you have to get a 75 or above.

Depends on the teacher and the class, I think... The actual nursing courses 75 may be passing, but the peripheral courses like psych and sociology, etc may allow you to slide by with a 70... i really haven't figured a pattern out to it.

I saw someone post here a while back "C MEANS CONTINUE!" and that has been my motto ever since! :chuckle

80% average for any nursing courses, or required courses for the nursing program (such as A&P, Micro, Patho, etc.). Any other courses, (English, Bioethics, electives) we just have to pass.

[twinbee25]

70% in theory

Clinicals are graded from 0-4, with 4 being an A, and must have a C to pass (3.6 -4 is an A)

[HappyNurse2005, RN]

75% in theory

S in clinical

90% on drug calculation test

attendance at all Lab classes

Completion of all LSRN's

[sofaraway04]

For me its 40% pass on written assignments and exams

competencies (clinical skills within practice) 100% pass (unless you are unable to do the skill in your area eg. stoma care- if nobody is on your ward with a stoma then you don't have the opportunity to pass it, which is different to not being competent at the skill)

40% sounds low compared to the rest of you. ours must be marked differently, harsher i guess. we have had about 20 drop out over the first 3 semesters

[yeepers]

80%=C=PASS: theory which comprises 6 tests, 1 final, symbols and abbreviations.

Clinical is pass or fail.

We have to pass both portions to pass the semester.

Our dosage calc requires 100% to pass you get 2 chances.

[caroladybelle, BSN, RN]

80% average.

And must have at least 80% in each component, clinical and course work.

May only fail one course and retake it only once.

95% on any math/pharm tests.

[TracyB,RN, RN]

80% clinical & theory

Pass/Fail on skills testing

Don't remember if there was different criteria for the math stuff
