I was recently accepted to a nursing program where I learned that the passing test grade was a 78. Needless to say I can't stop thinking about this and it has me super nervous. I spoke to a friend of mine at a local universtity and his passing grade is 80 and but another friend of mine hers is only 70 at her NRSG school. I think what worries me the most are the post that say that nrsg school is so difficult and getting a C is an accomplishment. So this has made me even more worried.
So I am just curious what are the passing grades at your school? And is a 78 excessive or is this the norm in nursing school?

From what I hear 78 sounds pretty average. Our school is 75.

Passing is 80 and above, but between 80-85% you might find yourself on academic probation, according to the BON of FL students passing at 86% or higher have a higher rate of first time passage on the NCLEX so they set their standards at 80, the LPN students have a passing of 70 tho,

80 is passing @ our school. End of semester you MUST have an 80 average (minimum) to even sit for the final. THEN, lol, you MUST get at least a 77 on the final to pass the course. For example, you can go into the final w/a 100% average and get a 76 on final and fail the course. (Now, of course, lol, if you went into the final on the up & up w/a good grade -- you should be able to pull a 77 on the final!)

70 here, on every test, but I've not seen anyone dropped yet for making below that.... it's weird.....they have them "write rationales" or take the test again to get a better grade.... while I'm working my orifice off to get a high B, low A..... sickening really, that folks are... hangers on at 70 every time.
