Program Description
The Mayo School of Health Sciences (MSHS) at Mayo Clinic in Rochester
offers diverse and challenging clinical experiences to nursing students
enrolled in Mayo Clinic-affiliated nursing programs.
Over the years, nursing education at Mayo Clinic has evolved from
a practical need for the best nursing care for Mayo patients. Consequently,
the organization has played an integral role in providing opportunities
for nursing education since its earliest days. Mayo’s first
allied health professional – Edith Graham Mayo, wife of Mayo
founder Dr. Charles Mayo – was trained as a nurse anesthetist
in 1889.
Today, nursing education is offered at local and regional affiliated
colleges and universities, with Mayo Clinic providing vital clinical
experiences as students advance in their education. Mayo Clinic
does not offer undergraduate nursing degree programs, but rather
collaborates with academic partners to provide comprehensive educational
opportunities.
Clinical experiences are arranged between the student’s school
and the program director for the MSHS Nursing Clinical Education.
They are co-facilitated by Mayo Clinic professional nursing staff
and affiliated nursing faculty. These educational experiences provide
nursing students opportunities to work alongside other professionals
in a multidisciplinary health-care environment.
Mayo Clinic’s Department of Nursing supports a diversity
of choices in nursing education to promote professional growth and
allow flexibility to pursue educational goals. The department has
received Magnet
Hospital Recognition status for Excellence in Nursing Service.
This award recognizes excellence in nursing services, development
of a professional milieu, and growth and development of the nursing
staff. Magnet institutions act as “magnets” by attracting
and retaining outstanding nurses and creating a work environment
that recognizes and rewards professional nursing.
At Mayo Clinic, you will observe and experience patient care delivery
in a comprehensive health-care center that offers:
- A caring, collaborative environment
- State-of-the-art diagnostic, therapeutic and
research facilities
- A large, diverse patient population
- An environment based on a team approach and
with a commitment to mutual respect

Facilities
The Mayo Clinic campus in Rochester comprises an extensive outpatient
complex, two hospitals, and research and education facilities. It
is among the largest, most advanced medical centers in the world.
Both Mayo Clinic’s outpatient and inpatient facilities provide
the training areas for the Nursing Clinical Education Program. In
some cases, students also have access to community-based educational
opportunities with Mayo Clinic-based programs and facilities.
Mayo Clinic's state-of-the-art diagnostic, therapeutic and research
facilities enhance student clinical experiences and the ability
for clinical preceptors to provide high-quality clinical education
experiences.
Graduation and Certification

within Mayo facilities. However, when you successfully complete
the nursing program at your affiliated school, you will receive
your nursing degree from that college or university.
Hours
Your nursing clinical education hours will vary according to your
