ICU Registered Nurse Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a icu registered nurse in New York?
You become an icu registered nurse in New York by earning an Associate Degree in Nursing or Bachelor of Science in Nursing, passing the NCLEX-RN, and obtaining a Registered Nurse license through the New York State Education Department's Office of the Professions. After licensure, most ICU positions require experience in an acute care or step-down setting, and many nurses pursue CCRN certification through the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses to qualify for senior ICU roles.
How much do ICU registered nurses make in New York?
ICU registered nurses in New York earn a median of about $109,440 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $79,760 for the lowest 10% to over $157,090 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire icu registered nurses in New York?
Employers hiring icu registered nurses in New York right now include HiredFirst, Healthforce, and Catholic Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. New York's large academic medical systems and multi-campus regional health networks account for the majority of ICU nurse openings across the state.
Which New York cities have the most icu registered nurse jobs?
The cities with the most icu registered nurse openings in New York are Rochester, New York, and Geneva. New York City drives the largest share of demand given its density of Level I trauma centers and academic medical centers, while Buffalo and Rochester reflect strong regional health systems like Kaleida Health and Rochester Regional Health that run full-service ICUs independently of the downstate market.
Are there remote icu registered nurse jobs in New York?
Yes, but they're rare. ICU nursing is a hands-on, bedside discipline, and the overwhelming majority of roles require on-site patient care. About 0% of icu registered nurse openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions are typically in telephonic triage, utilization review, or case management rather than direct critical care.
How can I get hired as a icu registered nurse in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic path is applying to a nurse residency or new-graduate critical care program run by large New York health systems. Northwell Health, NewYork-Presbyterian, and Montefiore Medical Center each run structured residency programs that rotate new RNs through ICU settings with dedicated preceptorship. Step-down, progressive care, and emergency department roles at community hospitals are effective lateral entry points, and holding a current CCRN eligibility or completing an AACN-recognized critical care course strengthens any new-grad application.
