Anna Freeman

I was born to be a nurse. I'm one of the lucky ones that knew what I wanted to do without question. I am blessed to love what I do. I graduated from High School and went directly to college to get my Bachelor's in Nursing. I graduated in 1999 and have now been a nurse for almost 25 years. I am dedicated, respectful, and compassionate to all of my patients whether we get along or not. I have a progressive career history in direct patient care, triage, and care coordination in fast-paced environment. I am known to remain calm under pressure and skillfully handle difficult patients and high-stress situations. I am consistently developing strong relationships with patients, their families, and coworkers through clear communication, empathy, a respectful attitude, and excellent listening skills. I often hear what is not said and have the "triage" experience to ask the right questions to get to the root of things.

I am as passionate about dogs as I am about the patients I care for.  Running and be with my dogs ( I have 5 of them right now) is how I decompress after an overstimulating day at work.  I help out family and friends by dog sitting when they have to go out of town.  I create an at home experience for their pups with interactions they would experience at home.  Road tripping to see new places and my family is something that brings me joy and enriches my life.  The majority of my family lives in Indiana, so visits with them are always like a holiday celebration.  I love words.  I love to write, get my thoughts out of my head and give emotions a voice to help me process through all I'm experiencing.  I often read non fiction books expanding my understanding on people, connecting with people, communicating with people, and growing a deeper relationship with God.
