I have read every book in the clique series and they are age appropriate for mature sixth and seventh graders. Due to the language and some of the ideas and suggestive topics in the book I would say mature seventh graders.
Licensed practical nurses, who are called licensed vocational nurses in Texas and California, provide basic nursing care in a variety of health-care settings. LVNs and LPNs earn their training through a one-year nursing diploma program, typically offered at a vocational school or community college. After graduating from an accredited program and passing a national licensing exam, these nurses can practice in any of the 50 states.
The LPN works under the supervision of a registered nurse (RN) or physician in most states; however, the LPN is often the only licensed nurse present in many facilities. LPNs also supervise nursing assistants in certain healthcare settings.PNs can and do work in acute care hospitals, although this type of employment seems to be on the decline in many regions in the United States due to issues surrounding scope of practice.
