The first step into nursing school looks good on them.
Our Fall 2026 BSN students joined us for Welcome Session, where they met classmates, connected with staff, asked questions and got a closer look at the community that will support them throughout their time at BSMCON.
And yes, ice cream made the day even sweeter.
We have plenty more photos from Welcome Session waiting in the camera roll! Like and share this post if we should open the album for everyone to view.
Help us welcome our newest future nurses.

A first-year faculty member. A lasting impact.
Congratulations to Donna Johnson, MSN-Ed, RN, assistant professor at Bon Secours Memorial College of Nursing and this year’s DAISY Faculty Award honoree!
Donna joined BSMCON last August and has already made a powerful impression on her students, colleagues and the College community. Her nomination described her as an instructor whose feedback helps students become stronger, safer and more capable nurses, while modeling compassionate, patient-centered care.
Her nomination was reviewed by a Mission Leader, last year’s DAISY Faculty Award winner and a student representative, and all three ranked it as their top choice.
Please join us in congratulating Donna on this well-deserved honor!

Simulation Spotlight!!
The RHEI Clinical Simulation & Learning Center at Bon Secours supports learners across multiple campuses through high‑fidelity, virtual, and standardized patient simulation experiences. Each campus features a dedicated simulation hospital designed to mirror an inpatient care unit, with four simulation rooms that enhance realism and allow for multi‑patient scenarios and up to four simulations to be conducted simultaneously. The center also maintains a robust Standardized Patient program, with more than thirty trained SPs supporting a wide range of learning experiences. Initially accredited by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) as a single site in 2021, the program has grown significantly and achieved full SSH accreditation as a multisite center in May 2026.
We’re also proud to have simulationists and leaders from the RHEI Clinical Simulation & Learning Center represented within the VASSA community and at the VASSA 2026 Conference as we continue advancing simulation education across Virginia together.
