I enjoyed gaining experience as a full-time employee in a position not directly related to my current career path. It opened my eyes to a new experience, one where I was able to see a different side of research.
What I wish was different
I do wish the position was a little more related to my career path in Medical Laboratory Science so I could have better ensured that my future goal is right for me.
Advice
I would say to make the most of whatever experience you are in, whether it is related to your career goal or not. You never know where it could take you.

Supply Chain Management Intern
May - August 2019 • Rochester, MN
What I liked
I loved every second of my time at Mayo. Everyday was different and I felt like not only did I take invaluable things away from my experience, but I was also able to give back to the organization in a very real way.
What I wish was different
I wish I wanted to move back to Rochester so I could take a job with the organization.
Advice
Ask the questions you want to ask and do not take one person's word on something; always fact check.

Nurse Intern
June - August 2019 • La Crosse, WI
What I liked
I loved how accepting and willing the nurses were to allow me to do things. Labor and delivery is my passion, and the staff on the floor supported me, but also challenged me to reach my full potential.
What I wish was different
This was a great opportunity, I wish it could extend longer into the day.
Advice
I would tell other nursing interns to go at it with everything that you have. It is important to understand your role, but hands on experience is the best way to learn.
