Who they are

You’re weighing ForzaCare in Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53210. The city itself sits at a cost-of-living index of 96.9—about 3% below the national price level—and nurses often start their housing search in places like Bay View, Jackson Park, Northpoint, Story Hill, or Washington Heights, where median rents run roughly $770–$1,077. South Milwaukee, Cudahy, and Oak Creek come up when you want a shorter drive to work farther south while staying in the metro.

More about ForzaCare

Around you, the same market has other active employers including Ascension, Aurora Health Care, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Select Medical, Vetted Solutions, and A Plus Home Care. Housing chatter for travelers often keys off commute time to campuses such as Froedtert/Medical College in Wauwatosa, Ascension Columbia St. Mary’s, and Advocate Aurora St. Luke’s. Wisconsin is not a compact-license state, so a Wisconsin license is part of any move here, and the state uses a graduated income tax. We do not yet have usable pay figures, scheduling rules, or unit-level detail for ForzaCare in our postings—you’d want to ask for those straight when you apply.
