More about Select Medical Rehabilitation - Madison
The patients you see day to day are recovering from brain and spinal cord injuries, neurological disorders, orthopedic issues, amputation, and multiple traumas. On a full-time night block you work 12-hour shifts, chart in EPIC, and partner with a nursing assistant on a caseload the employer describes as manageable. Full-time night RN pay is posted at $42.36–$60.50 an hour plus night and weekend differentials, with a $10,000 sign-on; per diem nights list at $55 an hour with a $3,000 sign-on. CNA full-time nights post at $21–$27 an hour with a $3,000 sign-on. Orientation is framed as extensive so you can settle into rehab nursing, and the benefits side lists tuition reimbursement, continuing education, a clinical ladder, and a student debt benefit. Most of what is openly posted right now is nights, so that is the schedule you should picture when you apply.

Culture and working life
What to consider
The good
- RN full-time nights posted at $42.36–$60.50/hr plus night and weekend differentials
- $10,000 sign-on bonus on full-time night RN inpatient rehab roles
- RN partners with a nursing assistant on a manageable caseload
- Acute rehab mix: brain/spinal cord, neuro, ortho, amputation, multi-trauma
- Extensive orientation into the rehab setting
- Tuition reimbursement, continuing education, clinical ladder, and student debt benefit
The hard parts
- Open roles currently skew heavily to 12-hour nights
- No published nurse-to-patient ratio beyond a ‘manageable caseload’ description
- Wisconsin is not a nurse-licensure compact state
- No formal new-grad residency program listed in the available facts
What to weigh
The roles showing up right now are heavily weighted toward 12-hour nights; day-shift postings are not what the current board is advertising.
