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.
