Why Choose Mayo Clinic

Job Responsibilities

The registered nurse (RN) within the Mayo Clinic Department of Nursing Enterprise Staffing Pool will furnish staffing assistance across Mayo Clinic locations (Rochester, Cannon Falls, New Prague, and Waseca) as dictated by staffing requirements and patient care demands.

The registered nurse (RN) is responsible for orchestrating nursing care, which encompasses direct patient support, patient/family education, and care transitions. The RN advocates for professional nursing practices across various settings and through the continuum of care to fulfill the needs of patients and their families. The RN will operate within the Mayo Clinic Nursing Professional Practice Model, which entails accountability for planning, executing, assessing, and communicating all phases of nursing care for designated patients. The ANA Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice form the foundation for RN practice. The RN exhibits leadership through roles such as preceptor, formal and informal leadership tasks, and quality enhancement initiatives. The RN allocates patient care based on skill level, experience, patient acuity, financial responsibility, and resource availability. The RN demonstrates excellent communication abilities; is adept at mentoring and teaching; and may engage in committees or projects. The registered nurse (RN) in the Mayo Clinic Department of Nursing Central Staffing Pool will offer backup staffing assistance across Mayo Clinic nursing sites as dictated by staffing and patient care requirements. As an employee of Mayo Clinic, the float pool RN embodies Mayo Clinic’s core values and culture. The RN will routinely travel to various locations. Flexibility and adaptability are critical in work assignments and schedules. 

This position qualifies for TN sponsorship. Successful sponsorship will necessitate state licensure and completion of the VisaScreen or equivalent certification.

Throughout the selection process, you may engage in a virtual (pre-recorded) interview that you can complete at your convenience. A question will be presented on your screen during the virtual interview, and you will have an opportunity to contemplate each question before answering. You will have the chance to re-record your response to each question — only the final recording will be viewed by Mayo Clinic. The complete interview will be evaluated by a Mayo Clinic staff member, and you will be informed of subsequent steps as necessary.
