The registered nurse (RN) is accountable for the coordination of nursing care, including direct patient care, patient/family education and transitions of care. The RN supports professional nursing practice across practice settings and across the continuum of care to meet the needs of the patient and family. The RN will function within the Mayo Clinic Nursing Professional Practice Model, which includes accountability for planning, implementing, evaluating and communicating all phases of nursing care for assigned patients.
The ANA Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice provide a basis for the practice of the RN. The RN provides leadership through activities such as preceptor role, informal and formal leadership roles, and quality improvement efforts. The RN delegates patient care according to skill level, experience, patient acuity, fiscal accountability and availability of resources.
The RN possesses excellent communication skills; is skillful in mentoring and teaching; and may participate on committees or projects. A subset of employees may be required to drive their personal vehicle as a part of the responsibility of their role. This role is eligible for TN sponsorship.

You got into nursing to care for and help those who need someone to speak up for them. In ICU, you’ll use that voice. #Compassion #Healing A skilled team. The best patient experiences don’t happen because of one great physician or nurse or specialist.
They happen when we bring together highly skilled teams who are hyper-focused on creating the best outcomes. #Excellence #Innovation Respect and Trust. It’s not enough to have a bunch of smart people advocating for patients. There has to be a culture of safety, so those people can speak up—regardless of job title. #Respect #Integrity A growth mindset.
Our ICU nurses care for our sickest patients—everything from cardiac to neuro, transplant and complex medical. We don’t expect you to know it all. We believe in and are proud of the quality of our nursing practice.
In ICU you’ll have a built-in network to mentor and support your career. #Teamwork Compensation and benefits. You can take better care of our patients when Mayo Clinic is taking care of you.
