WMBD/WYZZ TV – PEORIA -- On top of a nursing shortage, one in five nurses quit in their first year. That's why many hospitals are focusing on retention. Methodist Medical Center says it has a mentoring program to help ease nurses into their field. Methodist representatives say the program is paying off. They now have a 96% retention rate. Last year 133 nurses went through a mentoring program, including new hires and recent graduates. Retention coordinators say it helps nurses transition.
