Mayo Clinic really likes their internal candidates. Like most places Mayo has it's own culture and I think they like knowing that you are familiar with it, as this will likely increase your chances of success. NP's and PA's are pretty interchangeable with some services seemingly preferring one to the other, however the roles are the same once you are working. It is a physician lead institution and they take that seriously, physicians sign off on everything a NP does, however most physicians are not condescending and are very happy to have you on their team. I think that pay is typically a little lower than you might find at other places, it's a tiered system with little room for negotiation. It seems like they plug you into a formula and out comes a number that they will pay. Benefits are great and you will have every resource you could imagine, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved in research and hospital wide initiatives, if that's your thing. It's a big teaching institution and most everyone loves to teach, they attract some of the smartest physicians in the country and in some cases the world, you will learn a lot.

I'm in the ICU. I haven't set up any or my rotations yet so I don't have specific details, but I from speaking to people who are ahead of me at the program it is definitely an option, although I'm told there is a pretty lengthy process to get it done. Good luck I hope you get in, when do you find out?

I'm about a year into GCU's FNP program and have been working full time at Mayo as well. I'll agree with elliebelle01 that during Patho (which I literally just finished) I spent a great deal of my free time studying. My class was the first to do the 16 week course and although, per the instructor, they did add more content, it is definitely manageable. As far as Mayo they have been very helpful with scheduling for school. I have my class day off every week no questions asked and my leadership has been great with any other scheduling needs. From what I've heard it gets more challenging when rotations start.
