What qualities does Mayo Clinic look for in a new graduate nurse?
Seven categories are focused on when reviewing applicants’ resumes and conducting interviews for nursing positions: • The ability of the nurse to build a trusting relationship with their patients and co-workers. • The ability to be decisive even in urgent situations. • The ability to communicate clearly in a professional and personable manner with patients, their significant others and co-workers. • Skills in managing multiple tasks by prioritizing and delegating as necessary. • Successful participation in a teamwork environment. • Making sound judgements using education, experience and available resources to care for patients. • Providing care to all patients, respecting the diversity of each patient we have the privilege to care for.
