The Role: High-Acuity Care in a New Frontier
Are you looking for the clinical complexity of a big-city ICU with the lifestyle of a premier outdoor destination? The Staff Pad is partnering with a leading healthcare system in Wausau to staff a brand-new, state-of-the-art Cardiac Tower .

This isn't just a move; it's a career upgrade. You'll manage complex cardiothoracic and post-surgical patients in a unit designed with the latest medical technology and a workflow built for nurse efficiency.

Why Wausau? (The "Big City" Skills, "Small Town" Perks)
Wausau is Wisconsin's hidden gem for healthcare professionals. If you are currently in Milwaukee, Madison, or Chicago, here is why your colleagues are moving north:

Financial Freedom: Your dollar goes significantly further. Wausau offers a cost of living roughly 15-20% lower than major metro areas, meaning luxury living and homeownership are actually within reach.

The 5-Minute Commute: Trade gridlock for the Wisconsin River. Spend your time off on the trails or at Granite Peak , not sitting in traffic.

Outdoor Paradise: From kayaking and hiking to some of the best skiing in the Midwest, Wausau is built for those who love to be outside.

A "New Build" Experience: Most nurses spend their careers in aging facilities. You will be practicing in a newly expanded cardiac-focused tower , featuring modern aesthetics and optimized workspaces.

What You'll Master
Advanced Clinical Skills: Gain ICU-level exposure to drips, chest tubes, central lines, and advanced telemetry.

Collaborative Practice: Work in a high-trust environment where the interdisciplinary team relies on your clinical judgment.

Strategic Growth: With our expansion, we are looking for future Charge RNs and specialty leaders. We want to invest in your long-term career.

What We're Looking For
License: RN license (WI or compact eligible).

Experience: Whether you are an experienced RN or a New Graduate with a passion for critical care, we provide the mentorship you need.

Drive: You thrive in high-acuity settings and value patient-centered safety.

Certifications: BLS required; ACLS preferred (we will provide training if needed).

Ready for a Change of Pace (and Scenery)?
If you are ready to trade the burnout of the city for a high-tech role in a community that values your expertise, we want to talk to you.
