I will be taking mine June 4th! I have been using UWorld exclusively, but my school required the ATI capstone during our last semester. The panic is starting to set in a little. Congrats to those that took it today!! Must feel good to be have it over...

A MET call means there is a patient emergency or change in vitals etc. It stands for medical emergency team.

Yes, I got my HR email two weeks ago and scheduled my appointment. Is your POPA coming up soon?

Yes that's a great idea! A group for summer 2018 residencies!

Me too!! :)

Thank you so much! So glad I found this thread.

Also, are you registering for your current state by exam and then for the Minnesota license by endorsement? Or just registering for MN license by exam? Since it doesn't matter where we take the NCLEX.

Can you explain the 'registered with your state' part? Are you talking about registering for the NCLEX or for your license? I also haven't been told anything about this process, so sorry if the question seems silly!

I also have a question if you don't mind! I was wondering what to expect at the POPA/HR appointment. They mentioned a physical and a dexterity test or something? I've had to pass a physical abilities exam for a previous healthcare job and it was pret...

#4) I was told in my interview that they do not cancel people. If you are low-censused on your floor, they will float you to another unit. You will always get your 72 hours in, they do not cancel or send people home. That's what I was told at least. ...

Congrats!! Looks like we'll be in the same residency group! I'm moving from Iowa but I don't plan on living with a roommate. I know a couple others on here were interested, though! And I've had success in the past with finding roommates on craigslist...

If you're applying to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, you don't apply to the residency you just apply to the job position and they enroll you in whatever residency starts closest to your start date. Or are you looking at the Mayo Clinic Arizona residency? ...

I had an in-person interview, but seriously everyone is very nice and once you actually start the interview, you'll calm down. I was completely anxiety-ridden up until it started. But once we started talking I calmed down and I think you will too. Th...

I will be graduating this May 2018 with my ADN and I've already received two job offers at magnet status hospitals. One in my state and one out of state. It can totally be done! I have PCT experience, but not at either of these hospitals.

Now all we have to do is pass boards :) Did you schedule your POPA? I got that email pretty quickly, but I haven't gotten the email yet to schedule an appointment with HR

Neuro/family med/epilepsy! It's on the Saint Mary's campus. What campus is the bone marrow transplant floor?

Really? That's exciting!! That means we'll be in the same residency group!

Yes, that's just what happens whenever you submit an application. Next you will either receive a call for an interview or an email stating that while they were impressed with your qualifications, they have other more competitive candidates. But havin...

Did you accept a position?

I don't think there is anything wrong with applying to multiple positions. The HR rep emailed me 3 positions to apply to. I considered applying to Johns Hopkins because I used to live in Baltimore, but I was so excited about the Mayo opportunity so I...

Hey there!! I think we are all from out of the area, I did an in-person interview because I only live 3 hours away, but in a different state. My story from application to job offer may be a little different than others. I saw the original post on th...

Yay! Let us know how it goes!

Hey! Congrats on the job! My tentative start date is July 30th. They said that was a "preferred" date for nurse residency.

Sounds like Mayo to me

"Getting a job" in a hospital is seriously the best thing you can do to prepare and will be the most beneficial in relation to your goals. Don't get too ahead of yourself. I was required to get my CNA before nursing school and remember thinking "ugh ...
