Mayo Clinic's mission is "inspiring hope and promoting health through integrated clinical practice, education, and research." As an RN, what does this mean to you?

"Inspiring hope and promoting health through integrated clinical practice, education, and research is a very holistic approach. It's my job as a nurse to care for patients and inspire hope in their treatment and recovery journey. I promote health by being knowledgeable and skilled as an RN, educating patients with the knowledge they need to be successful, and using research to better their lives."

"I love this mission because it speaks to so many aspects of nursing and healthcare. I know Mayo Clinic is a leader in research and breakthrough treatments, so providing care and treatment based on the latest technology and innovation would be incredible. As a nurse, I strive to instill hope in my patients; no matter the health issue they are experiencing, I want them to know that we will provide the highest quality care possible to help them overcome it. I also love the value placed on education as it's important for patients and the family and friends that care for them when they go home. This includes medication, exercise, dieting, fall hazards, etc."
