Drug Calculation Exams

Level I

A Level I Drug Calculation Exam will be administered in NUR104 (Introduction to Pharmacology) or in NUR200 (Nursing Career Mobility Assessment). Dates for the exam will be coordinated by the course instructor.

  1. The exam will consist of 20 questions.
  2. Students are required to pass the exam with a 90% or higher in order to complete the course requirements. The exam grade is pass or fail and is not calculated in the course grade for NUR104 or NUR200.
  3. A student will be given the opportunity to remediate and will be allowed one re-test if he/she is not successful on the first attempt. The date for the second attempt will be noted on the course calendar.
  4. If a student is unsuccessful after the second attempt at the Level I Drug Calculation Exam, the student will be advised to withdraw from the course. If a student fails to withdraw from NUR104 or NUR200, the overall grade assignment will be 59 (F) regardless of the theory grade.
  5. Students that are unsuccessful on the Level I Drug Calculation Exam and choose to withdraw or receive a failing grade will be required to repeat the entire course before continuing in the nursing curriculum.
  6. Withdrawal from or failure in NUR104 or NUR200 will count as an unsuccessful attempt in a nursing course, as defined in The Alabama Community College System's Nursing Program Progression Policy.
