Kaitlyn+Luckey-Smith

My name is Kaitlyn and I would like to start off by saying how excited I am to be in class with such an accomplished and great group of classmates! I am looking forward to getting to know all of you better. I am from a small town called Clyde, NC; which is about 30 minutes west of Asheville, NC. I miss my mountains, but so far Johnson City has been a great place to live :) This is my first year at ETSU, as I finished my pre-reqs at a community college.

I have always known I wanted to be a Nurse and getting in to ETSU has been such a realization of this dream. I absolutely love being around and helping people. Ultimatly, my all time dream is to become a flight nurse and participate in medical missions and disaster relief. Although it has always been my goal to be in these areas of nursing, I also realize I will need alot of experience to be considered as a flight nurse, and I look forward to discovering the many other avenues of nursing in clinical.

In my free time I love horseback riding, hiking, swimming, hunting (really anything outdoorsey), and most of all, spending time with my amazing family and boyfriend!! :) I have 3 brothers, one who is a Paramedic, one going to school to be an auto mechanic and one going to school to be a computer programmer. I have the best parents ever and miss them so much! My boyfriend is a firefighter for Weaverville FD and we have been together for nearly four years.

That pretty much sums it up! I am looking forward to the next two years!
