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.

One chapter closes. Another begins.

After celebrating our newest SCHS graduates, we’re turning the page to welcome the next group of Southside College of Health Sciences students.

Last week, our Summer 2026 students joined us for orientation, where they met classmates, connected with faculty and staff, explored campus and took their first steps into the SCHS community.

Help us welcome our newest students to Southside!

Hard work, honored. Future nurses, celebrated.

Congratulations to the newest inductees of Southside College of Health Sciences’ Alpha Epsilon Chapter of the OADN Alpha Delta Nu Nursing Honor Society.

This honor recognizes academic excellence among associate degree nursing students and encourages continued growth through advanced degrees, continuing education and lifelong professional development.

Today, we’re celebrating more than an induction. We’re celebrating the dedication, support and determination that brought these students to this moment.

Help us congratulate our newest Alpha Delta Nu inductees!

One year of moments. A lifetime of purpose.

For Nurses Week, we’re looking back at some of our favorite memories from 2025.

From orientation and service projects to clinical learning, celebrations and graduation, every photo tells the same story: students showing up, growing, serving and stepping into the work our communities depend on.

To our students, graduates, faculty and nurses everywhere, this week is for you.

Thank you for the heart, patience and purpose you bring to the profession.

Every student has a story. These are the people helping write it.

For Global Advising Week, Southside College of Health Sciences is proud to recognize a few of the dedicated advisors who support our students every day.

Academic advising is more than planning classes. It is guidance, encouragement, and care that help students feel seen, supported, and ready to move forward.

Thank you for the knowledge, compassion, and commitment you bring to our campus community.

White coats on.
A new chapter begins.

At SCHS, students stepped into a moment they’ve been working toward, surrounded by the people who believed in them and helped them get here.

A day full of pride, support, and the start of something meaningful.

So proud of this group and everything ahead of them.
