Abstract
to discuss, in the light of Florence Nightingale, the historical position of art as a constituent device of evidence-based nursing practice. reflective study anchored in the writings of Nightingale and other researchers with whom it is possible to have a profound dialogue on the theme "art in nursing". art is related to two essential elements in the practice of nursing: knowledge and skill. Understanding science as knowledge and art as skill leads to the idea that both make it possible to combine technical competence, compassion, ethics, and individualization of care. Final Considerations: the art of nursing is the continuous exercise of detailed perception, so that the subjective aspect becomes the center to which the nurse's gaze converges, that which will allow them to unveil the "truth" posed by the patient, resulting in the best intervention for him.

INTRODUCTIONThe current health panorama has substantially reinforced the use of scientific evidence in therapeutic approaches as a way of offering the best decision
By evidence-based practice (EBP) it is understood a set of techniques, processes, and activities understood as the best to perform a given task, consistent with the values, objectives, evidence of health promotion, and understanding of the environment in which the practice takes place(1)
In the institutional health context, the use of EBP has been supported by scientific studies that value the empirical-mathematical logic through positivism - the dominant philosophical current in the health sciences
Summary
The current health panorama has substantially reinforced the use of scientific evidence in therapeutic approaches as a way of offering the best decision. As a profession essentially focused on meeting the needs of human beings in different health situations, uses the concept of practice based on evidence or best practices to support its clinical practice and provide quality care. In the institutional health context, the use of EBP has been supported by scientific studies that value the empirical-mathematical logic through positivism - the dominant philosophical current in the health sciences From it derives the application of quantitative studies with the purpose of discovering factual invariance, and formulating rules common to all individuals(2). Nursing performs care that expresses a “know-how” based on science, art, ethics, and aesthetics, directed to the needs of the individual, the family, and the community(5), that is, it greatly requires the use of the method of qualitative research, anchored in subjectivity. The following questions are asked: What statements were made by Florence so that art could be compared to nursing? How can art be strengthened as a device for evidence-based nursing practice?
