Guest: Rachel Matsch, CSP Nursing Alumna, ICU Nurse

In this unforgettable episode of CSP: Beyond the Call Light, we welcome Rachel Matsch, August 2020 graduate of CSP’s Traditional Nursing program and current ICU nurse at Regions Hospital. But Rachel’s journey to the bedside wasn’t easy. Before she wore the scrubs, she fought through the darkness of alcohol addiction, ultimately finding her purpose and power in the role of a nurse.

 Her story is raw, real, and rooted in the kind of resilience that every nurse and nursing student needs to hear.

As Florence Nightingale once said, "I attribute my success to this: I never gave or took any excuse." Rachel embodies that truth, and her voice will move you.

Whether you're in nursing school, at the bedside, or somewhere in between, Rachel’s journey reminds us all that healing often begins with being brave enough to face your story—and strong enough to rise from it.

Grounded in faith and guided by grace, this episode is a testament to the strength it takes to become the nurse you were meant to be.
