Mayo Clinic Student Nurse Extern Summer 2020

Published

Hello! I wanted to create this thread specifically for those applying to the Mayo Clinic Student Nurse Summer Externship in Arizona. I have yet to see the application for Arizona so I called HR and I was told to email [email protected] to figure out what's going on because HR could not find information about it either ? Hopefully I hear back soon and we can get this application process started!

Okay cool hopefully that is still the case!?❤️ I wonder how many applied this year? Hopefully we hear back soon!

I know I really hope so too. I also was wondering that! I truly have no idea...I didn't ask! But yes, fingers crossed we are notified in the near future! Stay safe and stay healthy ?

Hey! Mine says interview as well ? Also, I haven't received a call but I was told that we will hear back next week (she told me two weeks on 3/16)

How is everyone doing? I go to NAU and all of my clinicals have been moved to online ;( hopefully this doesn't effect the externship. Good luck to everyone!

Yes, she told me that she would be making her decisions within the next three days following this past Friday and HR would contact us if we get an offer. All other forms of communication will be via the online portal! She said as of now it is still on track, but it may get a delayed start due to Covid-19. Good luck everyone!

Also I agree! Online clinical is interesting ?

my public health clinical is just watching movies related to pandemics... its so weird to think of it as clinical LOL. Has anyone heard anything... the suspense is killing me

hahaha my mental health clinical is doing v sims and movies and my med surg II clinical is doing case studies this sucks? and I havent heard anything, I'm certain we'll hear next week! But to be honest, I feel like this may get postponed or cancelled based on how our local hospitals are reacting by not allowing anyone in besides workers ?

They still haven't decided what to do about my mental health clinical so I am waiting to hear back, but it is nice as I have had a lot more time to spend with family. I go to University of Kentucky and they cancelled the internship program at Baptist, but the one called SNAP which my boyfriend is doing is still going on and they had drug tests this morning for it at lab corp. I hope since mayo is such a great hospital and have the resources they will continue the program, but I could see it going either way! Hoping for the best since I chose the chance to interview and possibly intern at Mayo and turned down the other one. ?

Oh WOW!! Yes hopefully it all works out! And you're right, Mayo is a great hospital, so hopefully they'll continue the program! I really hope we get it because then when we come back next semester we may be a little rusty LOL

^^^my thoughts exactly about feeling rusty when we come back! Are you guys in your second or third semester right now? The clinical adjustment is definitely interesting...my school still has not decided on what they are doing for clinical. I think we will send up doing a mix of simulations/case studies and zooming with our clinical instructors.

we have a 5 semester nursing program at NAU (so we start Spring of our sophomore year) and I'm in my 3rd semester! ? I have clinical right now for med-surg II but all we did was a case study and my group is done LOL

I am in my 4th semester in the nursing program and so I am considered a first semester senior. All I have left is high acuity next semester and I am finished with nursing school which is crazy. I 100% do not want to get rusty as I only have 6 weeks of class before its fully my synthesis and I will be in the hospital for the rest of the semester. Right now I am finishing up public health and mental health! Med-surg is our most difficult course throughout all the semesters and me and some of my classmates were talking about how bad we feel for the people going through med-surg this semester with everything going on. I feel for you!!

ohhh okay I see. At my school it is 4 semesters and I started in Spring of 2019. So I am in my 3rd semester and I am considered a first semester senior as well. This semester we do Med-Surg II and in-patient psych/acute pediatrics. Half my cohort starts with Med-Surg II while the other half does the latter. I started with Med-Surg II and I am so happy that I did. At the start I was only taking one patient and by the end of my 7 week rotation I was taking on the full patient assignment. You grow alot through it. So I also completely feel for those who do not have the opportunity to do their Med-Surg II rotation right now. I am sad I don't have the chance to do acute pediatrics though.

another thing I want to note is that the ASU nursing students who have clinical at Mayo are unable to go there also... I wonder if that will happen with the internship ?
