Counts as the Texas Board of Nursing publishes them in its five-year file, where this program is listed as “Baptist Health System School of Health Professions”. Rates are worked out from those counts. With fewer than 10 candidates in a year, one result moves the rate by several points, so the multi-year figure is the steadier read.

Baptist Health System: common questions
- What is the NCLEX-PN pass rate at Baptist Health System?
- Baptist Health System had a first-time NCLEX-PN pass rate of 87.23% in 2025: 41 of 47 candidates passed, against a Texas average of 91.89%.

- What has Baptist Health System's pass rate been over the last five years?
- Across the 5 years from 2021 to 2025 in which it had first-time candidates, Baptist Health System put 135 candidates through the NCLEX-PN and 118 passed, 87.41%. The year-by-year counts are in the table above. Source: Texas BON, VN pass rates for last 5 years, first-time test takers.
- How much does Baptist Health System cost?
- The Texas Board of Nursing does not publish tuition for vocational nursing programs, so no figure is shown here. Ask the school for its total cost of attendance, including books, uniform, the NCLEX-PN exam fee and licensing costs.
- Is Baptist Health System an approved vocational nursing program?
- Baptist Health System appears in the Texas Board of Nursing's 2025 pass-rate report for approved vocational nursing education 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.
