RN at Wright Plastic Surgery

HOME: Sheridan

FAVORITE RESTAURANT: Best Café

FAVORITE MOVIE: Top Gun

FAVORITE BOOK: The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank

Paige Kelly’s path to Wright Plastic Surgery might not have been a logical series of jumps – over the course of her 25-year nursing career, she spent many years in the NICU at UAMS and a shorter stint in neurosurgery – but each role prepared her to give patients the best care possible. These stops along the way also allowed her to keep a healthy work-life balance so that she and her husband could focus on raising their three daughters. Now that they’re grown, Kelly gets to combine her skills as a nurse with her passion for helping people achieve their aesthetic goals.

What other woman do you admire most?

I have been very fortunate to come from a lineage of strong women, from my mother to my grandmothers and now my three adult daughters. From them, I have learned what it means to be courageous, kind and driven.

What is the best part of your day?

My morning commute. It allows me much-needed quiet time to prepare for my day. I have commuted from Sheridan to Little Rock since college. Without it, I would not have learned the power of time alone in prayer.

What is your proudest achievement?

Raising my three daughters was by far the hardest and most important work that I have ever done. I am very proud of each of them.

What’s something others would be surprised to know about you?

I wanted to be a professional water skier at Busch Gardens growing up.

What lessons have you learned from working in your field?

Nursing has taught me to trust my instincts. When something doesn’t seem right, it probably isn’t.
