The most important piece of advice I can give is to really listen to your patients! It may sound simple but you would be amazed at how many nurses and doctors don't. You don't know my body better than me. Also if you are dealing with a patient with a chronic condition that you are unfamiliar with, as them about it! It can only further you knowlege and make you a better nurse. Also we would rather you admit that you don't something than to pretend like you do.

Like others have said, listen to your patient or parent of the patient. I will never forget when my daughter was five and in the hospital. I left to get a cup of coffee. When I walked back in the respiratory staff person was trying to get her to inhale something she did not take. She was telling them "I don't take that."--even at five she knew her meds and the names. They weren't willing to listen at first, until I further clarified for them. This is a small example, but I think one of the main things is that the staff has regimented ways of doing things, but through daily care we have our routines in place and that should be honored as well.
Oh yeah, and most importantly, make the little ones laugh!--Your trust and respect will go far!
Hope your presentation goes well.
