Nursing School GPA Calculator
Track your academic performance and calculate your GPA for nursing school courses, including clinical and lab hours.
Understanding the Concept
The GPA is calculated using:
GPA = \(\frac{\sum (\text{Grade Points} \times \text{Credit Hours})}{\sum \text{Credit Hours}}\)
Common Grading Scale
| Letter Grade | Grade Points (4.0 Scale) |
|---|---|
| A+ | 4.3 |
| A | 4.0 |
| A- | 3.7 |
| B+ | 3.3 |
| B | 3.0 |
| B- | 2.7 |
| C+ | 2.3 |
| C | 2.0 |
| D | 1.0 |
| F | 0.0 |
Example Calculation
| Course | Grade | Credit Hours | Grade Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anatomy & Physiology | A | 4 | 4.0 |
| Nursing Ethics | B+ | 3 | 3.3 |
| Pharmacology | A- | 4 | 3.7 |
| Pediatric Nursing | B | 3 | 3.0 |
| Nursing Research | A | 2 | 4.0 |
Step 1: Multiply Grade Points by Credit Hours: (4×4)+(3.3×3)+(3.7×4)+(3×3)+(4×2)=57.7
Step 2: Divide by Total Credit Hours: 57.7 / 16 = 3.61
Your GPA is 3.61 on a 4.0 scale.
