Thanks for quick replies everyone, the first test is on Monday.

Hello folks, Quick question for you. I'm a fairly new nursing student, and having a lot of trouble with microbiology. It's been 18 years since I took regular Bio, and it wasn't exactly my best subject. I have to pass micro as a requirement for my nursing program, but I was wondering if there was any practical use for it as an RN. If there's not, than I won't sweat it so much. I've never seen floor nurses doing anything more than basic wound and nare checks. Does anybody know if I'll need all this info later? Anything would be helpful. Thanks in advance. Harold

Hello Everybody, I've been reading these boards for quite some time, but never had a reason to post before. I'm a student nurse with quite a bit of CNA experience, but not much nursing clinical, yet. I'm hoping someone can help with a question. I'm trying to lose weight, so I've switched to diet sodas instead of my regular high-octane ones. My DW heard "somewhere" that aspartame can cause or aggravate headaches, which I get rather frequently. The web search I did has a lot of conflicting information on both sides of the question. Does anyone have any personal experience, or knowledege of a definite scientific study? Thanks in advance. Harold
