I am honored to nominate Anup Bhullar for the prestigious DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nursing Students. Throughout her Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program at Michigan State University, Anup has consistently demonstrated outstanding compassion, clinical excellence, and dedication to serving diverse and underserved populations. In her clinical placements, Anup has notably excelled in providing compassionate, high-quality psychiatric care to a diverse patient population, including children, adolescents, older adults, and marginalized communities such as the LGBTQ+ population with Huron Street Wellness Center in Ypsilanti, MI. Her earlier nursing work in community mental health at Team Wellness in Southfield, MI, specifically highlights her unwavering commitment to addressing the unique psychiatric needs of underserved pediatric populations. She has shown exceptional skill in engaging families through family-centered care.

Anup's clinical experience at Start My Wellness and Psychiatric Associates further illustrates her strengths. Her compassionate approach and ability to establish meaningful rapport with patients from diverse backgrounds significantly enhance patient outcomes. She has excelled in conducting thorough psychiatric evaluations, employing evidence-based psychotherapeutic interventions such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and comprehensive psychoeducation. Her consistent reinforcement of psychotherapy skills empowers patients toward long-term mental wellness.

On a personal note, I want to express my sincere gratitude to Anup for her extraordinary contributions and genuine care for the patients at Huron Street Wellness Center. Observing her interactions with patients and witnessing the profound trust and comfort she fosters has deeply inspired me. Her ability to connect with and advocate for those in need exemplifies the very heart of nursing practice and reminds me daily why I pursued nursing academia. Anup’s dedication and empathetic approach truly make her an exceptional nurse and an asset to our profession.

It is with great enthusiasm and personal admiration that I nominate Anup Bhullar, a new board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, recognizing her extraordinary contributions, deep compassion, and dedication to improving patient care and outcomes for vulnerable populations.
