　　As a Mayo Clinic employee, the Internal Travel LPN actualizes Mayo Clinic core values and culture. The LPN will travel on a routine basis to various locations. Flexibility and adaptability are essential in work assignments and work schedules. Our LPNs support our inpatient nursing environments across our MCHS hospitals in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Duties include providing basic care to patients, including medication administration, focused assessments, assisting patients with ADLs, ensuring comfort of patients, wound care, open and effective communication with patients and all members of the healthcare team, timely and accurate documentation, and other nursing duties as assigned by an RN. Our LPNs primarily support inpatient acute care environments and long term stay/discharge ready units. Additional information can be found on our Travel LPN website (https://jobs.mayoclinic.org/travellpn) .

　　During the selection process you will participate in a virtual (pre-recorded) interview that you can complete at your convenience. During the virtual interview, a question will appear on your screen, and you will have time to consider each question before responding.

The complete interview will be reviewed by a Mayo Clinic staff member and you will be notified of next steps as appropriate.
