The purpose of this research was to explore intuitive experiences of nurses in critical care and home care settings. Fifty‐six nurses were interviewed and transcriptions of interviews were analyzed for emergent themes. Nurses described their experiences in terms of feeling and knowledge and gave examples of types of intuition. Further analysis showed themes consistent with three attributes of intuition found in the nursing literature. Recognition of intuitive experiences has consequences for communication and decision making in clinical practice.
