The Beauty is in the Eye of the #Go-Getter
Pace Go-Getters can do it all, said Pace two-time graduate, mother, wife, nurse, and business owner, Dr. Dawn Surajh, DNP, APRN, FNP-C. For Dawn, nursing is not just a passion, it is her foundation.
As an alumna from the Leinhard School of Nursing (LSN) Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) program and Online Accelerated Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program, Dawn took her nursing career to the next level and opened her own nursing aesthetics practice, DŮٱƵs Aesthetik Inc., in Georgia.
There is a saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and according to Dawn, beauty is also expressive. Aesthetics has allowed her to make othersŮٱƵ dreams come true, and to her that is an art. She uses her artistic skills along with her medical professionalism to treat patients with care and expertise. ŮٱƵDiving into the beauty industry has been nothing but rewarding for me as a cosmetic injector because I get to witness the happy side of patients and the medical field. I see delight from patients when they view their results produced from these magical hands of mine,ŮٱƵ said Dawn. She strongly believes in following the mantra, ŮٱƵinject with intent!ŮٱƵ guiding her to operate her practice with honesty.
Opening an aesthetic practice takes a lot of patience and trial and error. She was never presented with a blueprint about opening any practice; but felt confident in her Pace education and well accomplished at the end of each degree. ŮٱƵThe quality of education and training experience I received at Pace were nothing short of amazing,ŮٱƵ she said. Starting her own business came with challenges, but as her passion and dream, Dawn did not consider this as work. ŮٱƵIt takes a lot of hard work, dedication, blood, sweat, tears, and determination to be successful. My biggest take away was to never give up on your dream,ŮٱƵ she explained.

ŮٱƵDr. Dawn Surajh
Dawn chose Georgia as a location for a better family environment for her children. She continues to be dedicated to working on her art of injecting and making clients feel wanted, beautiful and fulfilled. As a business owner, it is not about the money for Dawn, but the rewards behind each procedure from a client standpoint. ŮٱƵIf my clients are happy at the end of their treatment, itŮٱƵs evident that I have done my job and have done it well,ŮٱƵ said Dawn. The most rewarding part of her day is making her clients smile at the end of their treatment with the ŮٱƵwowŮٱƵ effect as she hands them the mirror.
