Jacklyn Dunski

Hello! I'm Jacklyn Dunski, a caring and dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with board certification. With over ten years of experience in various healthcare settings, I’m passionate about providing compassionate and comprehensive care to my patients.

I hold a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in Nursing from Regis College. My nursing journey began in 2011 as a Licensed Practical Nurse. I continued my education and became a Registered Nurse in 2018. In 2022, I obtained my license as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), allowing me to provide specialized care. Throughout my career, I've worked in diverse settings, including correctional facilities, crisis units, substance abuse centers, memory care, and hospitals. Since 2022, I've been offering psychiatric care to a wide range of patients as a PMHNP.

Awards like the Jean Watson Caring Award and the Virginia Henderson Academic Excellence Award underscore my dedication to excellent patient care, both of which I received in 2017. I’ve also achieved high academic honors with recognition on the Dean's and President's lists, graduating with the highest GPA in my class in 2017 for my Registered Nurse program. In 2010, I graduated in the top 5 out of 55 students with a 3.89 GPA in my Licensed Practical Nurse program. I’ve had the privilege of training new nurses in various settings and serving as a preceptor for nurse practitioner students.

Whether it's helping you manage a mental health condition or providing supportive care, my goal is to make a positive impact in your life. I look forward to partnering with you on your health and wellness journey.

I believe that working together with a patient should always include consideration of their input when it comes to their treatment. My goal is to determine the best approach to restoring optimal emotional well-being. I firmly believe that a patient who is happy with their medication regimen will have the best outcomes in the future. It is important to think outside of the box and look at the patient as a whole, from a holistic perspective. Humor and warmth also go a long way!
