Mayo Clinic Nursing Externship 2015

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hello! I havent seen a thread yet for students applying to the 2015 extersnhip at Mayo Clinic so I thought I would start one and see if there is anyone out there who is in the same boat as me!

My name is Kayla and I am student from OHSU (Oregon Health and Science University). I submitted my application today and I am excited but so nervous, even more so than when I applied to nursing school! I hope to meet a few other students who are going through the process too!

How are you feeling?

What does everyone know about previous programs and applicants?

Are you nervous too?!?!?!

Good luck to everyone!

I'm considering applying to this. I go to The College of New Rochelle in New York. I'm still waiting for one grade from this last semester so that I can get an unofficial transcript. I like the housing option, as I think it would be hard to find affordable housing coming from out of state, especially with so many of us considering such a world-renowned institution. I wonder if they allow ICUs as an option for the unit you do the externship on...

Anyway, I'm only just thinking about it at this point (I know the deadline is pretty close), I'll update if I do end up applying!

I have a couple friends who have done this externship and they where both placed in ICU level care, one was on the neurotrauma unit and the other adult ICU :) I talked to one of the HR managers at the NSNA Mid Year convention this year and he said your placement depends on what you clinical experience has been in school. So if you request ICU and have hours of clinical to back that up it sounds like there is a good chance that you could be placed there!

Hey I'm Caitlin from Rhode Island and I'm just finishing up my application...kinda last minute on this one haha. I found this internship online awhile ago and have been super excited about it but was waiting until I got my grades for this semester to apply. Just finalizing my essays so hopefully I can submit it tomorrow! It seems like such an amazing opportunity and I'm already super nervous...the next month is going to be so long waiting to find out!!!

I just applied! I know it's quite competitive so it's pretty nerve-wracking. Summer III just sounds like an amazing opportunity.

Now it's just the waiting game...

Hey everyone! Just waiting along with you.....a fellow nursing student from the south!

I recently applied as well! I feel good that I am at least giving it a shot. All of the posts I have read about this opportunity seem positive and emphasize that it is an extraordinary experience! Good luck to everyone :-)

Is this an internship while in school or is it a grad nurse internship?

carpeperdiem,

The Summer III Nursing externship is offered to undergraduate nursing students who are currently enrolled in an accredited nursing program (I believe BSN program, but I'm not sure). I tried to find the actual externship/job post, but I think they took it down on Jan. 15th when the applications were due. Here is a a link to their website that briefly goes over the opportunity:
