Texas Nursing Schools and Programs

Researching then applying to accredited nursing schools in Texas can be a time consuming task. For those just getting started in Nursing, we suggest that you focus on your near term education goals and the Texas licensing requirements. The first question to ask yourself is: Do I want to begin my career in the state of Texas as a Nursing Assistant, Vocational Nurse, or a Registered Nurse? See our nursing education chart below for some insight into how long it takes to graduate from the most popular CNA, LVN, and RN nursing programs in Texas.

How long is nursing school in Texas? Texas education estimates and average wages by nursing program: Nursing Assistant, Vocational Nurse, Registered Nurse, and Nurse Practitioner.

Texas Registered Nurse programs generally lead to an Associate Degree in Nursing or Bachelor Degree in Nursing which typically last 2 to 4 years.

Finding the best Nurse Practitioner school in Texas before you become a Registered Nurse, for example, may bog down the school selection and application process. Furthermore, many four year undergraduate colleges routinely accept transfer credits for prerequisites often called pre-nursing courses.

While earning an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN, ASN) or Bachelor Degree in Nursing (BDN, BSN) is an important milestone for nurses, many Texas nursing school students gain meaningful work experience and an income upon completion of a shorter Certified Nursing Assistant or Licensed Vocational Nursing program in the state of Texas.

To help students search for the best nursing school in Texas, we have outlined some key questions to ask. Below on this page you will find the following:

  1. How do I become a nurse in Texas?
  2. Is Texas a nursing compact state?
  3. How long is nursing school in Texas?
  4. How much does nursing school in Texas cost?
  5. Is it hard to get into a Texas nursing school?
  6. List of nursing schools in Texas.

How do I become a nurse in Texas?

If you want to become a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) in the state of Texas, you will need to complete a Vocational Nurse training program. Vocational Nursing programs generally last 1 to 1.5 years. Upon completion of your Texas vocational nursing program, you will have to pass the nationwide NCLEX-PN exam. After you pass the NCLEX-PN exam, you will apply for a Vocational Nurse license from the Texas Board of Nursing.

If you want to become a Registered Nurse (RN) in the state of Texas, you will need to complete a Registered Nurse training program. Registered Nurse programs generally last 2 to 4 years. Upon completion of your Texas registered nursing program, you will have to pass the nationwide NCLEX-RN exam. After you pass the NCLEX-RN exam, you will apply for a Registered Nurse license from the Texas Board of Nursing.

Is Texas a nursing compact state?

Yes, Texas is part of the nursing license compact. Texas recently enacted the Enhanced Nursing Licensure Compact (eNLC) agreement which allows nurses to practice in all but a handful of states. This means that a Texas Licensed Vocational Nurse or a Texas Registered Nurse can now apply for a multi-state nursing license.

How long is nursing school in Texas?

The amount of time you spend in a Texas nursing school will vary based upon the career path you choose. You can become a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in as little as 6 to 12 weeks. Become a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) in 1 to 1.5 years, a Texas Registered Nurse (RN) in 2 to 4 years, or stay in nursing school longer to become a Nurse Practitioner in 6 to 8 years.

Above on this page we created a tabular image which summarizes how long nursing school is in Texas. That image includes the number of nurses employed in the state of Texas, along with the average wages earned at each education level.

Notice that in the state of Texas, far greater numbers are employed as a Registered Nurse (RN) compared to a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN). Notice also that a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) in Texas earns far more in wages compared to a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA).

Use the nursing program acronyms CNA, LVN, ASN, BSN, MSN, DNP, and PhD to help identify which Texas nursing schools offer the length of program you desire.

How much does nursing school in Texas cost?

Tuition for a nursing school in Texas will cost between $3,000 to $5,000 per year for state residents seeking a two year Associate degree, an ADN or ASN, for example. The larger public four year colleges and universities in Texas cost more between $6,000 to $9,000 per year for state residents seeking their Bachelor Degree in Nursing, a BDN or BSN.

To help reduce the cost of nursing school in Texas, a student can generally take their pre-nursing courses at a smaller two year college. Then, transfer those credits into the larger four year college or university of your choice. Each college has their own method of awarding transfer credits for pre-nursing coursework. You will need to plan ahead and question the receiving school before you start your first pre-nursing class.

Is it hard to get into a Texas nursing school?

We list the quoted acceptance rate provided by each Texas nursing school. A college acceptance rate is calculated by dividing the number of accepted students by the number of total applicants. Reviewing the list of nursing schools in Texas provided below, we can see the acceptance rates range from about 50% to 100% or Open. SAT and ACT scores are displayed on each individual nursing school page.

If you are having trouble getting accepted into a Texas nursing school due to a below average GPA, SAT, or ACT score, here are two strategies which might help: 1) take your pre-nursing courses at your local community college then reapply later as a transfer student with an above average GPA, and, 2) get your Nursing Assistant or Vocational Nurse license to help you gain experience and stand out from other college applicants.
