STUDENT Q&A: Rebecca Christopher, Class of 2016 What brought you to the College of Nursing and what do you want to do with your degree? In high school I was in Lexington Medical Center’s Partners Program. We toured facilities, interviewed professionals and I interned in the Infusion, Outpatient Physical Therapy and the 7th Floor Stroke Unit. That was the summer I decided to become a nurse. After my BSN, I plan on going to graduate school and have thought about going into hospital administration. What is one skill you believe every nurse should possess? I believe that every nurse should possess the drive to go above and beyond, not only for the patients but the profession as well. What is/was your favorite class? I will always admire Professor Hickey’s passion for the profession as demonstrated in Evolution of Nursing. Clinical Nutrition, with Professor Mercer, changed my life; through the class, I successfully lost twenty-three pounds and kept it off. What is your proudest accomplishment at USC so far? Since coming to USC, I have been elected Membership Chair for USC’s IHI chapter and SNA Executive Board and am now the Secretary for the SNA-SC Executive Board. I am so proud to be affiliated with both of these organizations and the work that they are all doing. This past year, I had the honor of co-writing a resolution regarding accurate and appropriate nutrition information that was passed on the state level and we are preparing the resolution to present at the national convention in April. What advice would you give to future nursing students? Please get involved! I have gotten involved in so many things since coming to USC and I am so happy that I did. Getting involved has allowed me to excel both inside and out of the classroom and has made me a better student and future nurse.
