r/MayoClinic

I recently was offered a position at Mayo Clinic Az. I am considering taking the job, but am hesitant to leave my current employer (been with them 2 years). I was hoping to gain some insight on the culture of mayo and any “perks” you’d consider are worth mentioning.

A little more about the situation- I would be in a hybrid, non patient facing role.

Any information about work life balance, turnover, workload, culture, raises, bonuses, etc. would be appreciated.

I'm researching how Mayo Clinic has handled patient financial classifications and pre-service payment requirements since 2022. I'm trying to understand whether patients at different Mayo locations have had similar experiences.

I'm looking to hear from patients who:

• Were classified or treated as self-pay (whether by choice or by Mayo Clinic).
• Received a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) before treatment.
• Were required to pay a pre-service deposit (often around $5,000 or more) before receiving care.
• Were unable to pay the required deposit.
• Had an appointment delayed, postponed, or canceled because they could not pay the required deposit.
• Were asked to make a substantial deposit despite having health insurance.

If any of these situations apply to you, I'd appreciate hearing about your experience. Please reply below or send me a private message if you're more comfortable discussing it privately.

I'm interested in understanding how these processes have been implemented across Mayo Clinic locations and whether patients have had similar experiences.

Thank you for your time.

I have an upcoming appointment with pulmonology (MN), and was curious if ppl felt they needed a +1 during their first visit. As I understand it - and please please correct me where I'm wrong - my day 1 is already booked with basic tests and I meet with the provider in the afternoon and they determine next steps/additional testing. Hopefully I got that right. If they require any kind of tests that have sedation as part of it (bronchoscopy/biopsy etc) are you able to get that done if you are solo? I'm trying to think of this as an outpatient facility where I've had to take people for like a colonoscopy where they don't release patients to leave on their own. Also really hoping their pulmonology dept is amazing but also trying to set realistic expectations

I’m wondering about pay for your years of experience and floor and how your overall experience has been. Is it enough to live comfortably with the cost of living in Phoenix? Where in Phoenix do most nurses live, is it feasible to live near the hospital? Is there parking there?

Also wondering about the ICU situation - how many ICU’s and ICU specialties are there? I can only find one job posting that says “ICU”. Plus, how competitive is it now to get a position there?

Lastly, what types of shifts are offered? Do inpatient floors have days only, nights only, midshift only etc. or is everything days/nights only?

Thank you guys, any help and advice is very much appreciated!!
