About Angelita Cantu, APRN, MSN, FNP-C

  • Angelita Cantu is an ARC Family Medicine Nurse Practitioner who sees patients at ARC clinics as needed.

    Angelita grew up in Alice, Texas. When she is not working, she enjoys spending time with her husband and three boys. If the family isn’t taking a quick road trip to see other family, they are likely at the park or at the baseball field. Favorite local spots include different local pools to cool off in the summer!

I chose a career in medicine because I knew I wanted to help care for people, and I chose nursing because I wanted to work at the bedside caring for patients. I furthered my education by becoming a nurse practitioner, to have the opportunity to work with patients across the spectrum. Working in health care is such a wonderful way to give back to my community. I enjoy learning about my patients and hearing their stories, which helps me understand them, their experiences in health care, and their readiness to take steps to improve their quality of life. I enjoy continuing to learn and grow in evidence-based practice, but also like a patient-centered approach to help others improve their quality of life.

    She couldn’t refill a Rx so I just should have waited to see the Dr.

    Check in and check out making another appointment for Med follow up went very smoothly very professional and helpful. Miss Cantu was wonderful. She really took time to talk. Listen and update. Very professional and helpful. The nurse assisted prior to Miss Cantu was nice. Lab check in and getting labs taken care of went very smoothly. Tech was very kind and did an excellent job drawing.

    Mrs Cantu was very thorough and truly wanted to help me figure out the issue, and spent quality time with me today instead of the pre-ARC experiences I had with other health care providers who were on some kind of nba-style shot clock.

    There was really no reason for me to go there physically. All Angelita did was go back my records and verify things. She did order labs. Am I supposed to do something about that or will that be scheduled for me?
