Making a Long-Term Plan The human resource manager in the facility where you are a supervisor has just completed a survey of the potential retirement plans of the nursing staff and found that within 5 years, 45% of the staff will probably be retiring. You know that past and present available statistics show that you normally replace 10% to 20% of your staff each year with new hires. You are concerned, as you do not know how you will be able to handle this new increase in your need for staff.
