Rita Freeman

Rita lives for today and she’s here to bring fun back to the ED. Her reckless nature can almost land her in trouble but somehow it’s more likely that her infectious maverick spirit will lead the others astray and it’s them who have to face the consequences.

Behind Rita’s whirlwind of energy and enthusiasm, it’s clear that her gregarious personality is a way of stopping anyone from getting too close, however she bonds quickly and easily with the team and they will enjoy her spirit of adventure.

Despite all this she’s an excellent nurse who doesn’t put up with any nonsense – junior doctors have been known to shake in her wake and patients do exactly what they're told. Her easy manner means people open up to her and her calmness under pressure means she’s exactly the person you would want next to you in a crisis.
