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.

SCC definitely prepares you to be a nurse. They have an excellent NCLEX pass rate as well. It's a tougher program in my opinion, but worth it. I graduated in December 2015 and out of the 30 something people that graduated, only 1 didn't pass NCLEX on the first try. The professors want you to succeed but you'll have to put in the work to make it happen. SCC was my last choice but I'm so happy that's where I ended up going. I think you'll like it!

I would imagine that would help immensely! I had no experience besides clinicals, and I wasn't an internal applicant.

I have an associates degree and haven't yet enrolled in a bachelors degree program and started with mayo in their new grad program last July. So it definitely isn't a requirement!

You'll need to purchase them. Navy blue. Any brand and material are fine. Scrubs and beyond gives a discount to mayo employees, id take a copy of your offer letter just in case they need proof.

Hello! I can't think of any, I wasn't introduced to any in my training. It's a stroke center and you'll get certified for that in your training. They do a really good job of teaching you everything you need to know.

The team on this unit is amazing, you'll have a great experience!

Thats where I am at! It's a great unit!

Congrats!!! Which unit and shift?!

No problem! It was a stressful couple of weeks waiting for the call, jumping at every unknown phone number until I spoke with them. Another tip, their phone number starts with 480-342, so be on the lookout! I hope you hear from them!

I think they might be behind on the website updates because mine changed before I had the interview. They will let you know either way.

I'm in the program now and got that email before I got the call that I had been offered a position. It's not a for sure sign, but it definitely means you are still in the running. Congrats!!
