ABSTRACT
The symptoms and combinations of symptoms will also interact with other factors, like the illness prognosis, the available medical treatments, the severity of the symptoms, the interference of the symptoms in everyday life and also the stage of nurses life and other personal, financial or family circumstances. The key to success in any undertaking is first, deciding what nurses want to do; second, determining how they are going to do it; and finally, learning a set of skills and practising them until they have been mastered. Leaving emotions aside, she tried to solve each medical issue methodically, the way she approached work issues, examining what was wrong and brainstorming how best to solve them. Blanche was able to let go of wanting things to be different, of wanting her condition to be cured, and she started to live her life.
