Hi, I’m Crystal Tucker. I began my nursing journey in 2011 as a Licensed Practical Nurse, driven by a deep passion for helping others. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in psychiatric care settings, serving in roles ranging from staff RN to charge nurse and assistant nurse manager, across several states.
I’m board-certified in psychiatric-mental health nursing (PMH-RN-BC) and currently serve as the President-Elect of the North Carolina Chapter of the American Psychiatric Nurses Association. I am also a DNP-PMHNP student with an anticipated graduation date of May 2026. I am committed to advancing the field of psychiatric nursing and advocating for mental health equity. When I'm not working or spending time with my wonderful family, I find immense joy in being in nature, and especially love hiking to see waterfalls.
