Rounding is an opportunity to talk to people face-to-face in their unit, distribute information, and organize. Members of the Professional Practice Committee often round on the same day as their monthly meeting. “Information is power. During rounding we can encounter issues in real time,” said Erin Oberson, RN in the labor and delivery unit at Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, Maine. “Without rounding, we would not have found out about charge nurses in a few units being asked to do additional documentation about staffing.”
