Anna Stokes, APRN, CPNP-PC, is a certified pediatric nurse practitioner who joined Red Stick Pediatrics in Baton Rouge in 2023, after years of caring for children in pediatric emergency and critical care.
Anna was born and raised in Mississippi. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Mississippi University for Women in 2011 and began her career as a nurse in Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care at Batson Children’s Hospital, caring for children with serious heart conditions.
In 2013, Anna moved to Baton Rouge and joined the Pediatric Emergency Room at Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital as a registered nurse. She earned her Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 2017 and continued in the children’s ER as a pediatric nurse practitioner.
That emergency experience shapes how she cares for kids in the clinic. Anna knows how to quickly figure out what’s going on when a child is sick or hurt, and she helps parents understand when a problem can be handled at home and when it needs more care.
Anna is certified in Basic Life Support (BLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS).
Outside the office, Anna and her husband are raising three daughters. She loves reading, running, and spending time with her family.
