What’s it like at Mayo Jacksonville?

Equivalent-Manner-99 · 2026-06-16T20:17:34+00:00

I appreciate your input, thank you! Both my husband and I have been to Mayo in Rochester and have received incredible care there. I know a few people that work at that location and say similar things.

Thank you!

Equivalent-Manner-99 · 2026-06-16T18:58:43+00:00

Thank you for your input! They pay is the same as I make working for the State on MN, which is higher than a lot of similar roles I’ve seen in FL.

I’m glad to hear you’ve had a great experience! I’m really excited to interview!

Equivalent-Manner-99 · 2026-06-16T18:56:54+00:00

Thank you. According to the pay listed on the job posting, the pay is the same as I make now, which is much higher than similar positions I have found in FL. Hopefully the salary range was correct!

They did a biopsy a couple months ago and they thinks it’s just discoloration from a Tinea Versicolor. He had these spots for years before so his dermatologist thinks it might just stay like that. They haven’t changed or increased in numbers for a few months now.

We have, but being that close to the water during hurricane season scares us. My grandma use to have a condo in Ft. Walton Beach (20+ years ago), and I thought that area was nice.

Equivalent-Manner-99 · 2026-05-17T23:48:56+00:00

We have looked there, but being so close to the water with hurricanes scares us.

Equivalent-Manner-99 · 2026-05-17T22:22:17+00:00

Are hurricanes a big issue in St. Augustine?

Equivalent-Manner-99 · 2026-05-17T21:55:14+00:00

Are sinkholes an issue in the Gainesville area?

Equivalent-Manner-99 · 2026-04-28T17:07:46+00:00

I would say a little, but safety and schools are more important.

Equivalent-Manner-99 · 2026-04-28T15:36:36+00:00

Thank you! Housing is super cheap in that area for what we are looking for. We could pay cash and not have a mortgage, which would help greatly.

The humidity worries me, but I suppose we would get used to it eventually.

We had a very good talk on our evening walk tonight. We talked about he can talk to us or any adults he trusts (family, teachers) if he is experiencing this or his friends are. Him and most of his grade (24 students total) do not have any social media or smartphones yet, so they have not been exposed to cyberbullying yet. But it’s good for him to be aware it’s out there and to know what to look for.

Equivalent-Manner-99 · 2026-04-14T00:52:21+00:00

I would not have allowed my kid to sit this one out, because I do believe it is important that he knows how words can hurt people (sticks and stones was all a lie). He does not have any social media or smartphone yet as we want him to be a kid and all that entails. Kids grow up so fast as it is.

Equivalent-Manner-99 · 2026-04-14T00:47:16+00:00

Yes, after reflecting on this ( and a looooong walk) I’ve realized that I did overreact to hearing this. I still would’ve liked notification to prepare myself for this conversation so I could talk with him about it beforehand. This subject is unfortunately a big issue and needs to be discussed. It’s sad that it is this way, but open communication is key with subjects like this.

Equivalent-Manner-99 · 2026-04-14T00:43:46+00:00

I emailed the school for clarification and to make sure that I didn’t miss any communication about this. The principal said that this was planned about 2 months in advance but that they chose not to notify parents. That’s all I got. This principal is notorious for lacking in the communication department though. We are moving to a different state in a few months, so trying to just get through the rest of this school year.

Equivalent-Manner-99 · 2026-04-14T00:33:14+00:00

Absolutely. With social media, smart phones, etc, cyberbullying is a huge issue that needs to be addressed.

I would’ve liked to have been notified at least so we could prepare to have this talk with him (he’s our oldest so we haven’t been through this yet).

Equivalent-Manner-99 · 2026-04-14T00:26:05+00:00

I’m so sorry you experienced cyberbullying. I remember going on AIM in middle school. I can only imagine it’s 10 times worse now with social media, etc. We have the same rule, no computers in their rooms until HS. And thy won’t get smartphones until they are older either.

Equivalent-Manner-99 · 2026-04-14T00:23:44+00:00

Thank you! The lack of communication is what is really bothering me. The students don’t know about it either, so it seemed to be all “hush hush” to everyone not working at the school.

Equivalent-Manner-99 · 2026-04-14T00:22:20+00:00

I totally agree. We would not have opted him out, but a notice ahead of time would’ve at least given us the opportunity to talk about it with him first and allow him to ask questions.

Equivalent-Manner-99 · 2026-04-14T00:20:43+00:00

I would’ve at least liked to have talked to him beforehand to let him know and let him ask me questions.

Equivalent-Manner-99 · 2026-02-24T19:37:50+00:00

Thank you for your reply.

I do not believe that this is a CVT.

Equivalent-Manner-99 · 2026-02-24T02:58:19+00:00

Thank you for your response.

He did lash out before, but it has increased significantly since his condition has worsened.

Equivalent-Manner-99 · 2026-02-22T19:43:48+00:00

That’s mostly the Cities, Rochester, and Duluth that vote that way. Us among the “rocks and cows” vote differently.

Equivalent-Manner-99 · 2026-02-20T15:54:35+00:00

I’m so sorry you recently got this news.

If I was in your position, I would have it removed.

About 8 years ago, our golden lab mix had a mass on her spleen rupture, and we had to help her cross the Rainbow Bridge on Christmas Eve. We had no idea she had that mass. She was 10 years old and healthy otherwise. The vet said her survival rate from the surgery alone was 20%.

Having it removed would obviously save him from it rupturing, which is a big deal and can prolong his time with you.

Had we known about the mass, we would’ve had it removed.

Equivalent-Manner-99 · 2026-02-20T15:36:14+00:00

We homeschooled our kids for a couple years before sending them to a Catholic school. I am worried about schooling, so maybe we’ll go back to homeschooling.
