Kristin Wright was inspired by her mother’s example to become a nurse, but it was a high school internship that showed her exactly what kind of nurse she wanted to be.
“I chose nursing because I grew up watching my mother as a nurse and saw the passion she had for taking care of patients,” Wright said.
“I did an internship in surgery my senior year of high school and absolutely fell in love with every aspect of it and knew I wanted to work in that area.”
A lifelong Richmond resident, Wright graduated from Indiana University East. She joined Reid as a student nurse tech while working her way through college before eventually making her way to Reid Outpatient Surgery and Endoscopy.
“I get such joy in seeing patients go home from their surgery with their issue or illness alleviated so they can live their lives how they desire,” Wright said. “I enjoy getting to provide such personal care to patients who are experiencing a scary time in their lives and creating a positive surgical experience for them.”
Wright has been married to her high school sweetheart, Matthew, for six years. They have twin children, Gavin and Raelynn.
