Chun Liu took a long road to becoming Bairnsdale Regional Health Service’s (BRHS) 2021-22 Graduate Registered Nurse Award – one that took grit to travel.
That road began eight years ago when Chun left her native Beijing on her own, aged 15, to complete secondary school and a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing in Sydney. Then, she headed from Sydney straight to Omeo, then Bairnsdale, to launch her nursing career with BRHS.
Chun’s tenacity was recognised with her award, given each year to the most outstanding Graduate Registered Nurse to complete their graduate year.
“My mum studied in Japan when she was young,” Chun said of her journey to Australia.
“She wanted me to open my mind, go out and see the world. I didn’t know what it would be like. It was a challenge, but I adjusted, I adapted and it’s been a very worthwhile journey.”
