The application process is electronic, with the Summer III Nursing Program job posting available from Oct. 15 to Jan. 15 each year. To locate the job posting, visit the Jobs at Mayo Clinic page and select "Internships and Summer Opportunities" in the "Job Types" drop-down box.

You are responsible for ensuring that all application materials are complete at the time of submission. The selection committee will not review incomplete applications.

To apply for the program:

• In a Microsoft Word document, answer these essay questions:

• Why do you have an interest in the Summer III Nursing Program, what differentiates you from other applicants and why should you be selected?
• Briefly, what are your goals for and expectations of the Summer III Nursing Program?
• Visit the Internships and Summer Opportunities page to apply online between Oct. 15 and Jan. 15. Be sure to attach your transcript and essay answers to your online application before submitting it. As a reminder, any applications submitted without these documents will be considered incomplete and will not be reviewed.
• Have a faculty member from your nursing school complete the Faculty Clinical Reference form. Upon completion, he or she should submit it directly to Mayo Clinic using the green "submit via email" button at the end. If the button doesn't work, save a copy of the completed form and email it to summer3@mayo.edu. This form must be received before the Jan. 15 application deadline.
