Concern continues to mount about the high turnover of new graduates across the country.  Evidence suggests that there is still a significant gap between school and workplace expectations.  The reasons for new graduate turnover will be reviewed.  Recent evidence has revealed some interesting findings related to type of academic preparation from Associate Degree programs (ADN) to Baccalaureate (BSN) programs, and from traditional to accelerated BSN programs.  Several evidence-based solutions will be offered, including the development of internship programs and mentoring opportunities.
