My name is Jeris Nichols. I am a junior at USC Upstate pursuing a bachelors degree in nursing and will graduate in December 2015. As a full time student, I would consider nursing school the most challenging adventure I have set out on. The
amount of work required is extensive, it takes a tremendous amount of dedication and time, but the end result is extremely
rewarding. I am an active member in SNA (student nurses association) as a class representative and the image of nursing
director. I am also involved on the state level as the SNA-SC Community Health Director for the 2014-15 year.
Promoting the nursing profession, being a positive role model to young African American girls and promoting health and
disease prevention within my community is something I take great joy in. In my free time I enjoy scuba diving, spending
time with my family, and enjoying new adventures. I thank God everyday for the opportunities He has allowed me to be
involved in. I would like to encourage anyone who is reading this to keep God first in your life, find what makes you happy
and follow your dreams! Thank you!
