Caleb Murphy was chosen for his resiliency, determination, and generosity
A registered nursing student at CNC, who has overcome a traumatic brain injury, received a national bursary for his resilience.
“I’m just speechless right now. Since I started the nursing program, I’ve had a fear that I wouldn’t make it,” said Murphy. “It’s still shocking to me that I’m doing well in school because I’m beating the odds. I thought I’d be failing everything, and I’m not.” “I learned a lot about myself that year, and what I wanted to do with my life. With all the time I spent in hospitals, the nurses were really caring towards me and gave me hope,” said Murphy.
“I’m honoured to be one of his instructors. I’ve had the chance to see his growth over the term, and Caleb overcomes any obstacle that happens to be in his path,” said Nancy Esopenko, one of the instructors who supported his nomination for the award.
