How much do acute care nurse practitioners make in New York?

Which companies hire acute care nurse practitioners in New York?
Employers hiring acute care nurse practitioners in New York right now include NYU Langone Health, Northwell Health, and Sound Physicians, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. New York's concentration of large academic medical centers and integrated health systems means openings tend to be steady year-round, particularly in the New York City metro and major upstate hospital networks.
Which New York cities have the most acute care nurse practitioner jobs?
New York, Nyack, and Buffalo have the most acute care nurse practitioner openings in New York. New York City accounts for the largest share by far given the density of major academic medical centers and specialty hospitals there, while Buffalo and Rochester generate consistent demand through large regional systems like Kaleida Health and Rochester Regional Health that anchor their local acute care markets.
Are there remote acute care nurse practitioner jobs in New York?
Yes, but they're rare. Acute care nurse practitioner work is inherently hands-on and bedside-based, so fully remote positions are limited. About 0% of acute care nurse practitioner openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those roles typically involve telehealth triage, virtual urgent care consults, or care management functions rather than direct inpatient care.
How can I get hired as an acute care nurse practitioner in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to new graduate nurse practitioner residency or fellowship programs, which Northwell Health, NewYork-Presbyterian, and NYC Health and Hospitals all offer for acute care tracks. Candidates coming from RN roles in ICU, step-down, or emergency departments have a strong advantage because that bedside background translates directly. Completing your ANCC or AACN board certification before applying and targeting hospitals with formal onboarding programs gives you the clearest route in.
