Both are essential elements that complement each other while cooperating within the framework of nursing practice and the definition of nursing. Additionally, Meehan (2009) states her definition of nursing: "Modern nursing is a dynamic career, offering an incredible range of opportunities and a real chance of having an interesting and successful career that makes a real difference to lives of others” (p. .1). Meehan's definition of nursing talks about the ability to make a real difference in someone's life, and that's exactly where the art and science aspect of nursing comes in. With reference to Jasmine (2009), who is able to provide support on why nursing can be considered an art, a science and the combination of both. Nursing is described as a “complex union of art and science” (Jasmine, 2009, p. 415). Throughout the chapters of her book, Nightingale integrated the arts and science of nursing; for example, in chapter two there were five aspects of keeping a clean house. The aspects would be the scientific part. When something needs special attention to clean, that's when the artistry comes in. The nurse caring for patients wants their patient to get better. Take precautions and keep rooms clean to Nightingale standards. There is no precise, precise definition of what art and nursing integration is in every situation, but it is there and present in every situation.
