Aberdeen Institute: common questions
- What is the NCLEX-PN pass rate at Aberdeen Institute?
- Aberdeen Institute had a first-time NCLEX-PN pass rate of 100.0% in 2025, from 6 candidates tested. Cohort size matters: a high rate from a handful of candidates is not evidence of quality. Over five years the program tested 6 candidates at 100.0%. Source: BVNPT vocational nursing program pass rates.
- How much does Aberdeen Institute cost?
- Aberdeen Institute has not reported tuition to the board, so no figure is published here. Absent is not the same as low: contact the school directly. Tuition on this site comes from BVNPT tuition costs for approved schools and excludes books, uniform, exam and licensing fees.
- Is Aberdeen Institute an approved vocational nursing program?
- Yes. Aberdeen Institute appears on the California Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians list of approved programs. Approval means graduates are eligible to sit the NCLEX-PN; it is not a ranking or an endorsement of quality.
- Is an LVN the same as an LPN?
- Yes. California and Texas call the licence Licensed Vocational Nurse; the other 48 states call it Licensed Practical Nurse. Both sit the same national exam, the NCLEX-PN. There is no separate LVN exam and the qualification is the same.
