My Name is Tiffany Withers and I am enrolled in the BSN program at Jefferson College of Health and Science in Roanoke, Va. I graduated from Heritage High School in 2005, in which later I attended Central Virginia Community College in Lynchburg, Va where I worked on my general studies. I enjoy reading, traveling, laughter, spending time with love ones, and shopping. I have a four year old daughter named Malaysia. My daughter is one of the reasons I decided to further my education, being a full- time mother and a full time student can be very exhausting but she keeps me well on my toes. I want to always be able to provide for her, and to be someone she can look up to and know that anything is possible.

I decided to pursue nursing because I find nursing as a way of helping individuals in their time of need and also as a way of giving back. My grandmother, before she had five kids, always wanted to be a nurse but never found the time. I have a twin brother who currently attends Ohio State Medical School pursuing a career in medicine who always pushes me. I say he’s my inspiration and my daughter my motivation. My aunt is a Nurse Practitioner in the Virginia Beach area, so medicine has always been around my family. My goal is to become a Neonatal Nurse or Pediatric Nurse Practitioner as I love children and would love the opportunity to work with them. I see myself as a determined individual who foresees myself accomplishing many tasks , and knowing that God has blessed me whichever plan of nursing I decide to go into I would like to be a blessing in someone else life. I want to love what I do, and do what I love.
