Need Advice For My New School Nurse Job

[Jules0612]

I was just hired as a school nurse for the 2014-15 school year at an elementary school. The school has 750 kids and is very culturally diverse. I am beyond excited for this change! I have been a nurse for 21 years in the ICU. What is the one piece of advice you wished you had before starting your career as a school nurse? I know I am in for a major change! ANY words of wisdom will be greatly appreciated..
