Popis: Aim: The purpose of this article is to address ways in which a nursing faculty can build nursing leadership competencies into a nursing programme. This article describes the use of simulation as a compelling learning strategy. Background: Nurses need to be prepared to meet the demands of mass casualty events. With the growing need for major incident training, leadership competency development is a critical gap in the literature. Evaluation: A collaborative simulation was used to help students apply classroom knowledge. In this simulation, students participated in major incident triage and the application of leadership competencies to appropriately manage victims' care. Conclusion: Collaboration among faculty members when designing simulation scenarios is a powerful approach to nursing education. Students were able to engage in necessary skills for their future nursing practice.
