About My Background and Training…

My name is Yinka Alayande, and I am a Psychiatry Nurse Practitioner with two years of experience. I began my career at Gate-psych Psychiatric Clinic in Albuquerque (2023) and then worked at Mohave Mental Health Clinic in Lake Havasu City (2023-2024). Currently, I work with the Arizona State Department of Corrections at the Tucson Prison Complex since June 2024.
I am passionate about providing compassionate care, stabilizing patients, and helping them reintegrate into society and their families. I earned my Master’s in Nursing from Walden University in 2022 and passed my board exam in December 2022. I also hold a BSN from the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (2008).
I bring a positive attitude and energy to the workplace, encouraging others to succeed in patient care. I am proficient in EMAR software, including Epic and Meditech. Outside of work, I enjoy playing basketball with my wife and three boys.
