Mayo New Grad RN Residency program (Feb/2016)

[mrsboots87]

Hey Peeps,

Just seeing who else applied to the Mayo Nurse Residency program for the Feb/2016 start. I don't graduate until December this year and don't have a super competitive GPA anymore due to nursing school B's. I am doubting I will get a spot, but it couldn't hurt to try.

Just making this thread for anyone who wants updates on the interview and selection process for this go around. I think the next application session will be early next spring for those who miss this one.

Does anyone know how many applicants there were this go around?

Hello, I couldn't find the information on their website. How many letters of recommendation are required for the application? Thank you!

I only had one, so I'd say that's the minimum.

Do you just apply for a regular RN position? Does anyone have the link for the Mayo site?

The new grad residency program has it's own application. It'll be with all their other jobs, but it is only open for three days, twice a year. I think the next time you can apply is in October. Go to mayoclinic.gov and search nurse residency AZ and you'll find more info.

Hello Shannfinn, I know this thread is old. I was wondering if you could share how the process was for the application and your overall experience at the Mayo RN Residency Program.

I applied during the February application period. I submitted everything that was required and waited an eternity to hear from someone. Intitially, I got an email saying my resume was being forwarded to a recruiter. Next, I got a call wanting to set up an interview. The interview was in May. After that, I received an email stating they were doing a background check and about a week after that I got the call that I was accepted. It's a very long process, but so worth it. I just "graduated" from the program in July, and it's everything that you expect it to be. There's a lot of education along with simulation. It's a very safe atmosphere to learn in and ask questions. The nurses that lead the program are amazing and kept in contact with us through the year to see how things were going on the unit. They truly all want you to succeed as a new grad nurse. I highly recommend applying.
