dc.description.abstract | In this article, I draw on material from an ethnographic and phenomenological study of knowledge
and professionalism among registered nurses working in a cancer unit at a Norwegian hospital. During the
study, the use of the senses stood out as an important skill in nurses’ work with patients. The question to be
investigated in this article is how the nurses acquire and use sensory knowledge in their clinical work. Building
on a notion of knowledge as situated, embodied, and sensory, and learning as embedded in doing, this article
contributes to and expands on the study of sensory knowledge in two respects. First, it foregrounds the processes
and practices in which sensory knowledge is actually formed and used at a microlevel. Second, it highlights
how an ethnographic and phenomenological exploration of the acquisition and use of sensory knowledge can
contribute new insights into how expertise is cultivated in everyday clinical practice. | en |
