Synthesis of expert opinions and educational strategies.

Main Results:

Intuitive knowing is crucial for rapid, accurate clinical assessments.
It enables nurses to identify subtle changes in patient condition.
Developing intuition requires experiential learning and reflective practice.

Conclusions:

Intuitive knowing is an essential component of expert nursing practice.
Nursing curricula should integrate methods to foster and validate intuitive skills.
Enhanced intuitive abilities will better prepare nurses for modern healthcare challenges.
