Abstract

The purpose of this study was to use hermeneutical phenomenology to describe the clinical knowledge embedded within the everyday practice of senior nursing students and registered nurses. This study employs Benner's (1984) research on the nature of clinical expertise as a framework. An examination of the relationship of the research subject's practice to Benner's seven domains of nursing practice was undertaken.
