Think of a case where you ignored your intuition, leaned on your training, and followed protocol… but something still felt off. Today, we're talking about how to balance evidence-based practice with those gut instincts that can change patient outcomes.

Dr. Vicki Good, DNP and Andrea Schmitt, hosts of the Voices in Nursing Podcast, share stories that highlight why intuition is just as important as clinical data and why nurses need to confidently speak up. You’ll learn how to develop your own intuition, teach others to trust their instincts, and the value of hindsight wisdom in building a database of red flags for patient decline.
