The city
Living in this city
Madison blends college-town energy with Midwestern warmth, offering a laid-back yet vibrant lifestyle. Wisconsin's capital sits between Lakes Mendota and Monona and is home to the University of Wisconsin. Outdoor recreation, farmers' markets, and a friendly, health-conscious community make it an appealing destination for an RN seeking a welcoming relocation spot.
Who they are
A nationally recognized nonprofit hospice leader in Wisconsin that topped the Wisconsin State Journal's large-employer survey, but where hospice nurses on Indeed rate management 2.8 out of 5 and work-life balance 3.0 out of 5 across 210 reviews. Purpose-driven work and clinical education support coexist with significant driving demands and on-call expectations.
