Hello,
For those who applied for Mayo's Nurse Residency in AZ during the application window of March 4-7th, & did the video recording interview, have you heard from Mayo for a 2nd interview?

That is amazing! They do tend to like applicants who will relocate. Are you already an employee of Mayo in another state? I am not an employee of Mayo but will graduate with a BSN in 3 weeks & have done 2 rounds of clinical rotations at Mayo Clinic Phoenix. My app still says "under consideration" but seems they are pretty much closing up all last interviews this week. I do know of other classmates who got the "no longer being considered" a 2nd week of March. Guess I will just keep waiting until they update my app status. 😅

No I have never worked at Mayo Clinic im from east coast. But I know it's a reputable and has great residency program and I am moving to Arizona so I knew I had to apply so hopefully it works out! I honestly do not know what to expect and it's my last semester for nursing school and of all these four years I'm feeling imposter syndrome as it is getting closer to graduating and getting closer to NCLEX... also when are you guys planning on taking NCLEX or have you guys already?

I think offers will go out by first or second week of May. I got an offer already but mainly cause I got CIP (educational reimbursement) for all my semesters of nursing school and I have to work there for two years. Not to discourage anyone but Mayo Clinic Phoenix Campus staffing is becoming very bad. It's  like banner staffing with Mayo Clinic patient care expectation.  Nurse are getting burned out. I heard that two weeks ago some nurses did not get reports and walked away once they saw their assignment of 5-6 patients per one RN.

Dang, sorry to hear that. 
 

I know Mayo just offer about 20 positions for the new RN residency program on each cohort and they get hundred of applicants. I also know they give priority to those who work at Mayo already,  have  good yearly appraisals, and get education reimbursement for their nursing degree. After giving the positions to those, then they select outside applicants (mainly with a BSN). I know is late to say this but your chances are greater  if you work at Mayo already or volunteer. You could also go and work somewhere else for six months and come back and apply but not as a new graduate. Also if you know someone who works there you could ask them to give referrals about you. It's hard to get in and even more  if you don't know anyone. It took me three job interviews to get my current job but it's worth it. I love working here and I have worked all the main hospitals in the valley.
Don't get discouraged. If it doesn't happen this Summer maybe end of year. 

Thank you for the advice and for sharing that. Do you currently work as a PCA? I wonder what other job position I can I apply for?

I got an email followed by a phone conversation with Tyler, the recruiter for Mayo Clinic. Offers should be sent by now first via email and then followed by a phone conversation. 
 

Good luck to everyone.
