Anna's Story

Anna Norton
Nurse Manager, Neurology - HSHS St. John’s Hospital (Springfield, Illinois)

What if your future employer recruited you where you were in your CNA program and then

supported every step of your growth from PCA to manager? Anna started at HSHS at 20 years old and never looked back, discovering an organization that doesn't wait for talent to apply.

Through tuition reimbursement, multiple certification opportunities, and a teaching hospital environment where residents become long-term colleagues, Anna built a career defined by hands-on leadership, continuous learning, and clinical relationships that evolve as physicians grow from residents to attendings.
