Ada Allen joined the FHU nursing family in January 2008. Nursing is her passion; maternity, as well as adult health nursing are her specialties. She has worked in this profession over 30 years. She started as a nursing assistant, then became a licensed practical nurse, then a registered nurse. She then went on to receive a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing.
She recently graduated from the Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing where she earned her Master's Degree in Women's Healthcare Nurse Practitioning and the passed board certification tests in that area. This degree will help her to be well-rounded in teaching maternity nursing here at Freed-Hardeman.
