What is passing for your nursing program?

Its incredibly common for nursing programs to have a higher passing standard then other program. So yes, a C still equals a degree. The C is just at a higher percentage then it was before. Calling it a regular class B, will not make it one. It will still be a C. Just focus on studying and doing well, and that higher required minimum shouldn't matter.

Anything below a 77 (including 76.99999) you failed the course at my school. I have heard talks about them raising it to 80.

Do your best and don't stress. honestly, if you are that close to failing something else is going on. Look for tutoring, different study method, etc.

All of our classes and homework assignments must be passed with at least a 76%, with talks of that percentage increasing.

are tests must be passed with an average of 80% to pass the class except our calculation exam which must be passed with 90%. They withdraw you if you dont meet the requirements :/

In my BSN program, you had to make at least a 75 on both exams AND in the course overall. Dosage calculation exam must be passed with 100%; one try. If not, you get booted.

In our ADN program we had to get 80% in our core classes. With that said my GPA went to hell in a handbasket. 80% was considered a C.

Same here. We had to get an 80.00% to pass with absolutely no rounding (they changed this while I was in my third semester.) I understand why, however it sucks when my 80 in nursing school is considered C and bare minimum passing. But, an 80 for others is considered a B. Oh well, it's life.

80 in my adn program, and now still 80 in my bsn program with some classes requiring 80 average on certain groups of assignments. I guess I'll never get below an eighty again :/

My first nursing school where I received my ADN required a passing grade of 75. I remember hearing some grumbling about the school not rounding up for a 74.9 to be passing and also a 89.9 did not round up to an A. Some thought that was too harsh but I noticed if you passed with an A or a high B you did not have to worry about passing boards. I always thought do my best in every class and my ultimate goal of being an RN was that much More likely to be reached.

I would love to see some more minimum grades for nursing schools to be posted!

Ours is a 75%. No rounding either. I have missed final grades that change the letter by two tenths of a point. It stinks because you realize it's literally one or two test questions throughout the entire semester.

Must make at least a 78% overall, at least a 78% average on exams, and a 100% on your dosage exam. No rounding at all. Also must pass 2 HESI tests per semester.
