OPPORTUNITY<br />
Tamara Carroll of Conway, RN, said<br />
her desire to become a nurse began<br />
when her mother was diagnosed<br />
with severe congestive heart failure.<br />
At the time, she was 12 years old and<br />
her mother was 30. Carroll said, “She<br />
had the heart of a 70 year old! At one<br />
point in time, she was having to take<br />
16 pills a day. I remember being so<br />
scared that I was going to lose my<br />
mother at a young age. At that time,<br />
I knew I wanted to become a nurse to help prevent this from<br />
happening to someone else’s family member.”<br />
She started nursing school at the age of 18. By the time she<br />
turned 21, Carroll was working as a nurse on a neurology unit<br />
at a Little Rock hospital. She worked there 10 years prior to<br />
moving to Conway. “I chose to come to Conway Regional in<br />
2017 and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made,” said Carroll,<br />
who is a nurse on the 3 North patient care unit at Conway<br />
Regional. “This feels like home to me and I am so happy to<br />
work here.” She is a graduate of the Baptist School of Nursing.<br />
Stephanie Ingraham of Conway,<br />
BSN, RN, is the nurse manager for<br />
the third floor at Conway Regional.<br />
She has been a nurse for 10 years.<br />
Of her motivation, Ingraham said,<br />
“My dad was diagnosed with stage<br />
4 colon cancer in 2005. Determined<br />
to take care of my father, and<br />
because of the nursing care he<br />
received from Conway Regional,<br />
it inspired me to pursue nursing.<br />
I can’t see myself doing anything else.” She achieved a<br />
bachelor of science in nursing degree at UALR.<br />
Elisabeth Velte of Conway, RN,<br />
Conway Regional Intensive Care<br />
Nursery, credits her grandmother<br />
as her inspiration for becoming a<br />
nurse. “She was a nurse and she<br />
loved what she did. I got to see<br />
her at the hospital and how her<br />
patients loved her and how she<br />
made a difference. I wanted to<br />
become a nurse and take care of the<br />
babies.” She has worked as a nurse<br />
in Conway Regional Intensive Care Nursery for 29 years,<br />
the duration of her career. She added, “I love working with<br />
the babies and their families in the NICU and seeing them<br />
get well. It is very rewarding.” She is a graduate of the<br />
Arkansas State University School of Nursing.<br />
Amanda Irby of Conway, RN, is<br />
the current nursing director over the<br />
Emergency Department and the critical<br />
care units at Conway Regional. She<br />
has been a nurse for 20 years and<br />
graduated from Harding University<br />
College of Nursing in Searcy. “Nursing<br />
was a natural choice for me and I<br />
became a nurse so I could make a<br />
difference. As a kid, I spent lots of time<br />
‘helping’ in my dad’s taxidermy shop,<br />
visiting my papa’s hospital room and reading mom’s EMT text<br />
books,” explains Irby. “I seemed to be immune to blood and<br />
‘grossness’ and became quite intrigued with anatomy, science<br />
and how the body worked.” Her chosen field of nursing was<br />
easy to determine. “I had an indescribable love for lights, sirens,<br />
and emergencies. I was enthralled with the public responders<br />
in the middle of the action who were helping people in their<br />
worst moments,” she said. “I wanted to be the person that<br />
could take charge of a situation, make snap decisions and give<br />
it my all to make someone else’s day just a little bit better.<br />
Sometimes that someone is a patient or their family member.<br />
Sometimes that someone is an employee or co-worker.”<br />
Lou Ann Oade of Conway, RN,<br />
Labor and Delivery, has been a nurse<br />
for 29 years. Lou Ann started off<br />
her working career in banking but<br />
couldn’t find job satisfaction. “My<br />
sister in law and mother in law were<br />
both nurses so I asked them if I<br />
could do what they did. I enrolled in<br />
nursing school. On my first clinical<br />
day, I knew this was my destiny.”<br />
