Amanda Devore exemplifies what it means to be an extraordinary nurse leader.
Over the past year, she stepped into the role of manager during a time of significant transition, leading the separation of units and establishing a new foundation for her team. While staff initially felt uncertainty with such a major change, Amanda quickly built trust through her presence, transparency, and unwavering support.
Amanda leads with both strength and compassion. She fosters an environment where staff feels safe, valued, and empowered to grow. Numerous team members describe how she personally invested in their development—encouraging them to pursue new skills, leadership roles, and professional advancement opportunities they may not have otherwise believed possible. She doesn’t just expect excellence; she actively helps her staff achieve it.
What sets Amanda apart is her accessibility and genuine care for others. She maintains an open-door approach, making herself available at any time for questions, guidance, or support. She consistently arrives early to connect with night shift staff, checks in throughout the day, and ensures her team has the resources they need to provide exceptional patient care. Even while managing multiple units, she remains calm, present, and fully engaged.
Amanda leads by example, frequently stepping in to assist on the floor—answering call lights, helping with medications, and supporting staff during high-demand moments. Her actions demonstrate that leadership is not about position, but about service. She creates a culture of teamwork, accountability, and respect, where both patients and staff feel prioritized.
Her impact extends far beyond operational leadership. Amanda has created a unit culture where people feel supported both professionally and personally. She takes the time to recognize her team in meaningful ways—whether through handwritten notes, celebrating milestones, or simply making sure each person feels seen and appreciated. Staff consistently describe her as the "backbone" of the unit, someone who advocates, motivates, and inspires everyone around her.
