I am a new grad on a ortho floor. I just passed boards last week, but I have been on the floor now about 3 weeks and I really enjoy it! :) THe nurse to patient ratio on my floor is 1:4 and sometimes 1:5 for all the staff RNs.

I am currently an ASU student and I graduate in 2 weeks! My best friend did the 16 month program at east campus and loved it. ASU is extremely competitive to get into, but not impossible. I do recommend you retake those English classess cause you need to get all the A's you can. From what I understand from my professors ASU is not getting rid of the 16 month program. They have decreased enrollment though because of the economy. I wouldn't give up on your dream, I have had a great experience with the program. You seem like an intelligent person and I would just focus on getting A's too apply. I had 1 B with my application. Good luck!

I externed there over the summer and they posted the job opening internally first thats why I already interviewed. I found out 3 days after the interview that I got the job. The first day of orientation/training is Janurary 6th.

The application is online. Just go to the website... mayoclinic.org and click the job link. Then apply for the "RN New Grad" job. Good luck!

I will be working in ICU :)

I just got hired at MAYO for the new grad program!

I am currently in the 24 month program at the downtown campus and I really like it. The big benefit to doing the 24 month program is that you can do a summer externship and that makes a huge difference in your confidence and your critical thinking skills. I externed at Mayo this summer and now that I am graduating in december I feel so much more confident and ready. My best friend did the 16 month program at East campus because she wanted to graduated ASAP and really did not have a life for 16 months. So it really just depends on how much time you want for family and friends? Hope that helps :)

I am currently in the ASU program at the downtown campus and graduate this december. When I applied my GPA was a 3.89 and I got a 99% on the net and a 73% on the reading portion and I got in no problem and I even got my first choice for location. Your numbers sound really good and I don't think you will have a problem getting in. Good luck! :) Its a great program and I have learned so much and I am so excited to graduate and start working as an RN! :)

I am externing at Mayo in ICU this summer and I have heard it is an excellent program!

I will be externing over the summer in an ICU department and I am very excited about it, however I am nervous because we don't do our critical care rotation until the fall semester. Wish me luck! Robin
