Charles Sturt University graduate Tegan has shared how recovering from a devastating accident inspired her to pursue a career in nursing. After spending months undergoing treatment and rehabilitation following the crash, she developed a deep appreciation for the healthcare workers who supported her recovery. That experience motivated her to study nursing at CSU in Port Macquarie, where she has now graduated and plans to work in regional healthcare. Her story was highlighted during CSU graduation celebrations recognising resilience and determination among students.
