Mayo Clinic Summer III-2011

kjocrile · Jan 10, 2011

Hi! I'm from Iowa and I applied for the program this summer also! I am very anxious to find out if I get in or not! I want to so badly! Good luck to you! My top places were ER, ICU, OR.

Good luck to you as well! I think its going to be hard to be away from family since its 6 hours away from me, but I think its the best opportunity I've ran across so far...I am going to apply to area hospitals, but I don't feel like they compare. Do you currently hold a job in the healthcare field?

I also applied for the Summer III internship. I am a junior nursing student from Pittsburgh, PA. My top choices were the ER, ICU,and transplant units. Good Luck to everyone and I hope to see you all this June in Rochester!

I overnighted my application to them yesterday. My school fails at getting official transcripts out (submitted request on December 6 and I'm still waiting) so I sent it with an older transcript and my unofficial to show the grades from my last semester. :eek: I'm from California and I've been building my involvement specifically for this, so I think that my application is quite strong. Right now I'm just hoping and praying.

That said, I'm distracting myself by filling out applications for two other externships and a scholarship, so that'll help keep keep my mind off of it.

Good luck to us all!:heartbeat

I see that a good number of people like to go into the ER, ICU..I see that with people from my program as well. I sent out my application last Thursday only to find it back in my mail on Saturday :mad: because I didn't have enough postage! So, I did a two-day shipping the following monday & had delivery confirmation to make sure! HA!

I've been looking at this program since the summer anticipating completing my application. I do not think that I had the BEST recommendation from my clinical instructor because it was a little short, but I hope thayt they can "see" my personality through the essay portion.

Does anyone know when they usually send the accepted/denial letters? I keep thinking about it every, but this semester is going to be so busy with school & work so maybe it'll distract me a LITTLE.

BTW, what clinical rotations is everyone doing? And are you currently working? If so, where?

Im from Jacksonville Fl, and Ive applied for PCT positions in our Mayo Clinic. Do any of you work for the MAyo clinic? I would like to apply there when I get done with nursing school. Dont they have a graduate nurse program?

Hi everyone!

I'm a student in wisconsin and my top areas where psych, transplant, and hem/onc, but I put some interest for pretty much everything:). SJ7301 to answer your questions I think in the past people got a letter the first week of Feb. telling them if they were in or not (according to other forums). So far my clinicals have been on ENT/plastics and this semster on the heart care unit. I am currently working as a tech on the oncology floor of a local hospital. I am also hoping starting clinicals will distract me a little. Good luck to everyone!

Hey does anyone know what GPA they are looking for? I just applied,but my GPA is not that hot.

sj73201, BSN, RN · Jan 15, 2011

They're not looking for a certain GPA (the website does not say so)...It says you need "satisfactory grades" to apply

This semester i'm doing care of the adult (med-surg) on a telemetry floor. I'm wondering what that's going to be like :eek:
