title: Administrative rounds. A neglected art.
abstract: In making decisions, nurse administrators need diverse information from a variety of sources. One source of this information can be administrative rounds. Rounds not only offer opportunity for data collection and verification, problem identification and remediation, but they also provide an opportunity for coaching of staff and leadership visibility. The outcome of nursing work can be enhanced by nurse administrators seeing and being seen.
