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.
