Certified Nurse Midwife Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a certified nurse midwife in New York?
To work as a certified nurse midwife in New York, you must hold a registered nurse license issued or recognized by the New York State Education Department and obtain a separate advanced practice registration as a midwife through the same board. This requires completing an accredited graduate-level nurse-midwifery program and passing the American Midwifery Certification Board exam. New York also requires a collaborative agreement with a physician for certain practice settings, so confirming that arrangement before starting a new role is important.
How much do certified nurse midwifes make in New York?
Certified nurse midwifes in New York earn a median of about $144,510 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $104,860 for the lowest 10% to over $177,240 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire certified nurse midwifes in New York?
Employers hiring certified nurse midwifes in New York right now include OULA, Sun River Health, and University of Rochester, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. New York's large integrated health systems and federally qualified health centers are among the most consistent sources of certified nurse midwife openings across the state.
Which New York cities have the most certified nurse midwife jobs?
The cities with the most certified nurse midwife openings in New York are Rochester, Buffalo, and New York. New York City dominates the distribution given the sheer concentration of hospital systems, academic medical centers, and community health organizations there, while Albany and Buffalo see steady demand from regional health systems and state-affiliated institutions serving large surrounding populations.
Are there remote certified nurse midwife jobs in New York?
Yes, but they are rare. Certified nurse midwifery is a hands-on clinical role centered on direct patient care, which limits remote options significantly. About 0% of certified nurse midwife openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions are typically limited to telehealth consultations, prenatal education, or care coordination roles rather than full clinical practice.
How can I get hired as a certified nurse midwife in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate residency or fellowship programs offered by large New York health systems, including Northwell Health and NewYork-Presbyterian, which run structured midwifery transition-to-practice programs for newly certified CNMs. Federally qualified health centers in New York City and upstate often hire new graduates for supervised positions in full-scope practices. Candidates coming from labor and delivery nursing or women's health nursing backgrounds have a strong advantage, and holding an active New York advanced practice registration before applying removes a common barrier for competitive roles.
Where can I find and apply to certified nurse midwife jobs in New York?
You can find and apply to certified nurse midwife jobs in New York on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the available roles, find the ones that fit your experience and preferred location, and apply directly.
