Intuition in professional practice. Executive and staff perceptions.
Intuition, as part of our thinking, is often misunderstood or held in mystical regard. It is important to understand the aspects of this instinctual process and to appreciate the differing perspectives of both the registered nurse in the staff position and the executive in a leadership role. We compare responses to a Socratic dialogue of the definition of intuition and offer suggestions for nursing leaders to develop clinical judgment using nursing examples of intuition.
