Background. Implementing simulation requires a substantial commitment of human and financial resources. Despite this, little\nis known about the strategies used by academic nursing leaders to facilitate the implementation of a simulation program in\nnursing curricula. Methods. Aconstructivist grounded theory study was conducted within 13 nursing programs in Ontario, Canada.\nPerspectives of key stakeholders (???? = 27) including nursing administrators (???? = 6), simulation leaders (???? = 9), and nursing faculty\n(???? = 12) were analyzed using the constant comparison method. Results. Nursing leaders, specifically nursing administrators and\nsimulation leaders who successfully led the adoption and incorporation of simulation into nursing curricula, worked together and\nutilized negotiating, navigating, and networking strategies that impacted the adoption and incorporation of simulation into nursing\ncurricula. Conclusions. Strategies that were found to be useful when planning and executing the adoption and incorporation of an\ninnovation, specifically simulation, into nursing curricula provide practical approaches that may be helpful to nurse leaders when\nembarking upon an organizational change.
