Hey, everyone. I know it's pretty early, but I have had my eye on the Mayo Clinic Nurse Residency program in Arizona for a while. I will be graduating in December and plan on applying to their February 2022 cohort. I have seen other threads from previous cohorts that keep up with the process, information, and support each other along the way.
If you are interested in applying to this program, this thread is for you!
About me: I am from out of state, which is why I am pretty anxious to hear more information on the program. I would love to do critical care. I have not seen the residency program posted on the job board yet, so hopefully, we can keep each other updated.
Good luck to all of you!

Hi,
Congrats on the offer! Did they happen to tell you how long we have to respond to the offer?
I just got my official offer…….7E/nights. I’m kinda bummed as MS wasn’t one of the units of interest. I knew from the start I wanted to work for Mayo because it’s a great hospital and I’ve heard so many good things from ppl who work there. However, I’m not sure I would be happy working nights on MS. I have until Thursday to decide ?
Haha good thinking! I just asked someone that used to work at Banner but now works at Mayo about her experience with the two hospitals. She said that she would take an offer in any unit at Mayo, because it's hard to get into and it's a good place to work at. She is a PCU nurse and said that she floated on 7E and "is not that bad". It is a hard decision.

LOL at “is not that bad”. I know Mayo is excellent and very difficult to get into; that’s what makes the decision so hard. In all honesty, I will prob take the offer bc Mayo is where I really want to be. But I do keep going back and forth, I’m a mess…..LOL
11 minutes ago, heretotakecareofyou said:I am a mess too and that's exactly what I'm doing haha. But I am also thinking about accepting the offer and possibly transferring to a different unit in the future. I just don't want to hate my life for who knows how long...
Right……I wonder how long it would be before we could switch; I hope it’s not 2 years. I prob sound like a jerk bc a lot of ppl really want to work at Mayo and I’m over here with an offer and I’m indecisive.
