Work: Our 12‑bed Critical Care Unit cares for the highest‑acuity patients across all specialties—including neuro, cardiac, medical, and surgical cases—with capabilities for CVVH and IABP support. The unit typically has 11–12 patients per day with an average stay of about three days, and offers supportive nurse‑to‑patient ratios: 2:1 in the
ICU (with some 1:1), 3:1 for stepdown, and 4:1 for telemetry, plus a 12:1 NA ratio. Nurses work closely with intensivists, specialty providers, and 24/7 virtual critical care support. We seek organized, team‑oriented nurses with strong critical‑thinking skills who want to care for high‑acuity patients and respond effectively to rapidly changing conditions; prior ICU or nursing experience is helpful but not required. You’ll love this unit for its strong collaboration, engaged nursing culture, and commitment to exceptional critical care—an environment where you can build advanced clinical skills, grow professionally, and work alongside supportive colleagues who truly value teamwork.

Market context
Wisconsin CNA roles stay consistently needed
In Wisconsin, CNA openings are often driven by ongoing staffing needs in hospitals, long-term care, and other patient-care settings. These roles can be competitive because employers may prefer candidates with current state certification, though some will also consider applicants who have completed a 75-hour training program and are awaiting the state exam. Review the AI-summarized requirements and benefits here to save research time, then confirm your certification status and availability before applying.
