Human Physiology

My name is Chantal Tesch and I am currently a student at SDSU working towards a major in nursing. I am a sophomore this year and this has been the first year that I have been taking all of my classes online. The reason for taking online classes is because I recently had a baby girl on August 21. Her name is Aubrie and she is almost 6 months old. Also, we share the same birthday! How special is that? She has given me motivation to strive for my goal of becoming a nurse anesthetist. A nurse anesthetist performs pre-operative patient assessments and is responsible for informing patients about the effects of anesthesia. Not only that, but a nurse anesthetist administers anesthetics, maintains appropriate levels of anesthesia during surgery, and follows up with patients after they have received anesthesia. In my free time, away from school, I like to spend lots of time with my family and friends. Lately, in my spare time, I have been busy planning my wedding. I am engaged to a wonderful man named Dustin and we are getting married on September 3, 2011. Therefore, I am a very busy individual and having the opportunity to take online classes has been great.
