New grad Nurse retention:  The manager of a medical surgical unit that is expanding needs to hire additional staff.  Over the last 3 years 90% of the new graduates hired have quit within the first year of hire.  The current RN staff is comprised of 8 nurses with greater than 10 yrs experience, 6 nurses with 5-10 yrs experience and 7 nurses with less than 5 yrs experience on the unit.  Six new graduates are hired for the expansion.  They will start 3 months before the new beds open.  Your task is to propose a plan to enhance retention of the new graduates.
