Numerous articles have documented the benefits of using simulation as a teaching method
for undergraduate nursing students. Simulation can enhance learning and provides a stimulating
environment for technologically proficient students. Yet, there remain a large number of nursing
programs and faculty members that are resistant toward implementing simulation as a learning
tool. This article provides details on the efforts to embed simulation in an undergraduate program
that started with a few interested faculty at a large, multi-site nursing program. The Diffusion
of Innovation theory was used to guide the expansion of simulation to other faculty groups. The
techniques used to embed simulation into the undergraduate curriculum were directed by past
research. This process led to a successful integration of simulation which could provide some
innovative suggestions for other programs facing similar barriers.
