What Are Vocational Nursing Pass Rates?

The California Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians (BVNPT) publishes NCLEX-PN pass rate data for approved vocational nursing programs statewide. These pass rates show the percentage of graduates who pass the NCLEX-PN licensing exam on their first attempt.

On the BVNPT website, students can search for a specific school and review pass rate data by reporting year.

To find a school’s pass rates:

  1. Visit the BVNPT website.
  2. Open the Education section from the main menu.
  3. Select “Pass Rates,” then click “Vocational Nursing Pass Rates.”
  4. On the Licensure Examination Pass Rates page, click the “Previous 5 Year Pass Rates” PDF.
  5. Find the school or campus you want to review.
  6. Review the reported NCLEX-PN pass rate and the reporting year.
  7. Compare the results with other approved vocational nursing programs in California.
