Ami Bhatt exemplifies what it means to be a truly extraordinary nurse.

Her presence, both at the bedside and among her coworkers, is deeply felt and incredibly valued. As a patient under Ami’s care, you don’t just feel looked after — you feel seen, heard, and genuinely loved.

She possesses exceptional critical thinking and clinical skills, always ensuring that her patients receive the highest standard of care. But Ami doesn’t stop at simply performing her nursing duties. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure her patients are comfortable, reassured, and treated with compassion and dignity.

As a colleague, Ami is a constant source of joy and support. She is the first to ask, “Are you doing okay?” or “What can I help with?” — and she means it every time. She proactively prepares for shift changes, making sure the oncoming nurse is set up for success, reflecting her dedication not only to her patients but to her team as well.

When Ami is charging, there’s a collective sense of relief. She checks in, finds you in your patient’s room, and offers help without hesitation. On especially tough days, she will take the medications out of your hands and say, “I’ll pass them for you,” before you can even respond. That level of awareness and action speaks volumes about her character and commitment.

Ami Bhatt embodies the very spirit of the DAISY Award — compassionate, selfless, clinically excellent, and wholeheartedly devoted to others.
