Initiated in spring 2001, the Rounds are one-hour presentations intended to highlight research and scholarly work that is being done by faculty and other nursing leaders from the community and, thus, showcase nursing. On occasion, a speaker will be invited who is not a nurse to provide a non-nursing perspective on an issue of great importance; or who is from outside the local area to provide a national viewpoint.

All nurses throughout the community are invited to attend, as are other individuals who are interested in the topic. Please check back in September for the 2006-2007 Grand Rounds schedule. Grand Rounds are held from 12:00 to 1:00 in 4-180 Weaver-Densford Hall on the East Bank of the University of Minnesota.

Here is a link to the PowerPoint presentation given by Dr. Diana Mason at our most recent Grand Rounds on May 8, 2006.
