The purpose of this descriptive study was to provide information about passing grades and their corresponding numeric grades for undergraduate nursing programs in New York State. An additional purpose was to report on differences in grading between faculty teaching in associate versus baccalaureate nursing programs, full-time versus adjunct faculty, and tenured versus nontenured faculty.
There is a paucity of research on grade variability in undergraduate nursing programs.
Three hundred eighty-four full-time and 96 adjunct faculty responded to an invitation to complete an online survey.
Grades are not uniformly awarded across institutions. Passing grades ranged from 70 to 85 percent (C- to B+, respectively), with a mean of 74.79 percent.
Wide variations in grades in different institutions across the country may undermine grade point average as a reliable measure of education, making it difficult to evaluate individual student performance.
这项描述性研究的目的是提供有关纽约州本科护理专业及格分数及其相应数字分数的信息。另一个目的是报告副学士学位护理专业与学士学位护理专业的教师、全职教师与兼职教师以及终身制教师与非终身制教师在评分方面的差异。
关于本科护理专业成绩差异的研究很少。
384名全职教师和96名兼职教师应邀完成了一项在线调查。
各院校的成绩评定并不统一。及格分数范围为70%至85%（分别为C-至B+），平均为74.79%。
全国不同院校的成绩差异很大，这可能会削弱平均绩点作为可靠教育衡量标准的作用，难以评估学生的个人表现。
