Grading System
All grades in the ADN and Bridge program will be weighted as follows:
| Grades |
Unit Exams |
60% |
| Final Exam |
30% |
| Other (Bib cards, quizzes, papers, etc.) |
10% |
| Total |
100% |
| Clinical Grades |
Performance |
78% |
| Nursing Care Plans and Observation |
78% |
Students must pass clinical with a 78% in written work and 78% in each of the clinical performance objectives in order to receive a P (pass) for the clinical portion of the course. An F (fail) will be recorded to any clinical total below 78%. Clinical grades will not be added to theory grades. Students must receive a pass in clinical in addition to 78% of the points possible in the theory portion of the course to pass the nursing course. Clinical grades and theory grades are independent of one another. In the case of clinical failure, the theory grade will be assigned as no credit (N/C). In the case of a grade less than 78% in theory, a failing grade will be assigned and a grade of no credit (N/C) will be assigned for the clinical portion of the course. Exception is Fundamentals as outlined previously.
Competency Evaluation
Simulation may be used for testing/evaluation and the session may be recorded. The decision to record the session is at the discretion of the instructor.
