Message from LaKasha Wright

My name is LaKasha Wright and I have been a Registered Nurse for 10 years at Carolina East Medical Center (the former Craven Regional Medical Center). I graduated from Craven Community College in 1999 and began working on the Neuro unit for seven years of which 2 years of that time I was a Charge nurse. While pregnant with my second child, I transferred to the OPSV unit and became a preoperative nurse and on occasions I am the medication nurse for the endoscopy unit. (We are sister units) When I am not working you can find me hanging out with my family or watching a good Lifetime movie.  I have decided to go back to school to complete my degree because I have always wanted to receive my BSN in nursing and felt that this was the perfect time to complete my goal. After I graduate, I plan to become a Certified Public Health Nurse with the specialty of Maternal/Child health. My greatest role however is being a proud wife to an understanding and devoted husband of 8 years and mother of a sweet 6 year old son and precocious 2 year old daughter. I am a little scared about what to expect during this RN to BSN program but I feel that I am not alone and get a sense that we will be able to get each other through this experience with assist of each other. I wish you all the best of luck and look forward to getting to know some new friends.
