Who they are
You would be an RN on the skilled nursing side of The Marquardt, Illuminus’s 52-acre campus in Watertown, Wisconsin—assisted living, memory care, Garden Homes, and apartments share the grounds.
The community has been here since 1969, run by a faith-based not-for-profit that manages senior living across the Midwest, and it sits about halfway between Madison and Milwaukee. Posted Marquardt RN pay runs $35.50–$45.00 an hour based on experience, with differentials called out for PM and NOC. Schedules are full-time or part-time (0.6 FTE and up) across AM, PM, and NOC; one posted PM block is 2:00 PM–10:30 PM. Postings also flag sign-on bonus eligibility, and benefits language includes a 401(k) with match, medical options with little to no employee cost after premiums, FSA, dental, vision, life, disability, and PTO. Illuminus says nursing career growth and continued education are a priority and runs skills-fair sessions through the Illuminus Institute. A long-tenured floor nurse has spoken publicly about 26 years in their long-term care. At the same time, public reviews are thin and rough—around 2.4 stars with 0% willing to recommend in roughly a dozen Glassdoor reviews—and staffing still comes up even when someone likes the pay.
Faith-based not-for-profit senior living focused on older adults; employer states investing in nursing staff career growth and continued education is a priority.
Why nurses stay
About a dozen Glassdoor reviews put Illuminus near 2.4 stars with 0% willing to recommend; work-life and senior management score lowest. One nurse review praised management and pay while noting ongoing staffing issues. A floor nurse testimonial cites 26 years in long-term care. A 2021 LPN review tied to Marquardt Village scored 3.0.
The reality check
The first year has a shape: exam, license, first job, base year, then the move. Residency windows and commitments carry fine print worth reading before you sign.
