I first learned about Christmas disease while preparing for a presentation on lab values many years ago. At first glance, I thought it was some sort of a seasonal condition brought on by the confluence of forced merriment, surges in alcohol and calorie intake, and exacerbated psychosocial stress during the holidays.

Nursing residency programs have both advantages and disadvantages. While many healthcare leaders believe that nurse residency programs are a necessity , others are wary of the cost and long-term commitment they require. Nurse graduates are often eager to leave the classroom behind and begin their careers, skipping residency programs altogether.
