CSP Nursing: Beyond the Call Light

Peer Support in Action: Stephanie Ryman on Mentoring First-Semester Nursing Students

Dr. Kendra Saal, RN Season 1 Episode 6

Podcast Description:
In this inspiring episode of CSP Nursing: Beyond the Call Light, we sit down with Stephanie Ryman, a current ABSN student at Concordia University, St. Paul. Stephanie and a few of her classmates have launched a peer-to-peer mentorship group to support first-semester nursing students, and the impact has been incredible.

Stephanie opens up about the challenges she faced in her own first semester and how those experiences fueled her desire to help others. She shares how the group provides emotional and academic support, what a typical session looks like, and the importance of creating a safe space for honest conversations.

We also talk about personal growth, time management, and the ripple effect of student-led initiatives. Whether you’re in nursing school, thinking about starting a support group, or just love hearing about students lifting each other up, this episode is for you.

Listen now and be inspired by the difference a few motivated students can make.
