Just wondering how you like working at the Mayo Clinic. I am looking into some positions there and wanted to know what the atmosphere is like, working conditions, co-workers, etc.
Thanks in advance!

The floor nurses never have more than 4 pts (5 on their worst day), stepdown never has more than 2, and Icu usually assigned to 1 (2 if stepdown status or extremely stable).
great staffing --what about support staff?

The whole hospital is tele :) You should come check us out, it's really great. Our "cardiac" tele unit nurse to pt ratio is a max of 4:1 sometimes without an assistant though. I'm the only Sarah in the critical care unit if u ever want to call, I'm definitely there on wednesdays and thursdays.
Do you work every other weekend - or every third weekend? Also, do you "self-schedule?"
