Focus on explaining your long-term goals with the Mayo Clinic so the interviewer can see that you plan on being a dedicated employee if hired for the position. If circumstances keep you from committing long-term, such as a military spouse that often moves you and your family, be honest with the interviewer. It is best to be up-front and describe your situation, showing the interviewer you have morals and integrity.

"Yes, I see myself retiring with your organization many years down the road. Since nursing school, I have only wanted to work for the Mayo Clinic. My husband and I recently bought a house nearby and plan to stay here to raise our kids. We have no plans on moving, and I see myself having a long career with the Mayo Clinic."

Yes, I see myself with Mayo for many years. My husband and I own a house here in Red Wing and my adult children live close. I enjoy my work with Mayo because I enjoy our patients and my coworkers.

Great! The interviewer will be happy to hear that you plan to stay with the company for the long term. This makes sense since you're located nearby and expect to enjoy the work, patients, and coworkers. Can you further build out your answer by talking more about what you anticipate liking about the role? Also, what else do you appreciate about the organization itself? Its values and/or culture? The more details you can give, the more memorable your answer will be to the interviewer. Nice job!
