Best references for a new school nurse

[GatezRN]

Hi all,

I've been a nurse for 10 years, but always in acute care. In August, I'm changing career directions a bit and have taken a job as a permanent sub in our school district for the 2014-2015 school year. I'm very excited and hoping for a permanent position to open up the following year.

Which books or websites do you think are the best resources for a new school nurse? I want to be prepared as I can be by August. Thanks in advance!
