Good question. Be careful when relying on Pass Rates. Many schools do not accurately report their pass rate, but the Board always knows the exact number for that school who took the NCLEX licensure exam. The RN BOard of CA has an accurate posting of number taken and number passed. Just the last few weeks the LVN board of Vocational Nursing for CA followed the same format and if you look @ the LVN Board listing? It's pretty telling. Many schools show that only 1 or 2 sometimes 5 people took the NCLEX for the entire year and show a 100% pass rate. SO you should question schools like that that only have 1 or 2 that took and passed for the year, yet show 100%? Kinda fishy. You should always look for a school that has a decent number taken with a number that is at least on the state average of passing. Right now in CA the state average for LVN is 77% pass rate, so any school that has a good number taken for the year at or around that would be a good indicator of a good school. You should ask a lot of questions of any school that has only 1, 2, or under 10 for the entire year taking the exam. Very fishy.
