More about University Health Services

Single nurses commonly look at West Madison around $1,700 a month; Westmorland, Sherman, and Dudgeon-Monroe come up when people want something more renter-friendly. Popular suburbs are Sun Prairie, Verona, DeForest, Waunakee, and Middleton, with campus-area drives typically 10–15 minutes from Middleton, 15–20 from Waunakee, and 20–25 from Sun Prairie. Wisconsin is not a compact-license state and uses a graduated state income tax. One-bedrooms near $1,000 a month are becoming unheard of. Nearby, UW Health RN pay in our data is about $40.30 an hour — that is the local hospital market, not a number we have for this workplace.
