Nursing Aide Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a nursing aide in New York?
To become a nursing aide in New York, you must complete a state-approved nurse aide training program and pass the New York Nurse Aide Competency Evaluation, which includes a written test and a skills demonstration. After passing, the New York State Department of Health adds you to the Nurse Aide Registry, which is required before you can work in a certified nursing facility. Training programs are offered at community colleges, vocational schools, and some long-term care facilities across the state.
How much do nursing aides make in New York?

Which companies hire nursing aides in New York?
Employers hiring nursing aides in New York right now include NYU Langone Health, Arnot Health, and Prometric, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. New York's large integrated health systems, skilled nursing facilities, and home care agencies create particularly consistent demand for certified aides at multiple experience levels.
Which New York cities have the most nursing aide jobs?
Patchogue, Bath, and Manhattan have the most nursing aide openings in New York. New York City dominates the list because of its concentration of major hospital systems, long-term care networks, and home health agencies, while Buffalo and Albany generate steady openings through regional medical centers and the growing senior care infrastructure serving those metro areas.
Are there remote nursing aide jobs in New York?
Yes, but they're rare. Nursing aide work is fundamentally hands-on, so the vast majority of roles require an on-site presence at a hospital, nursing home, or patient's home. About 0% of nursing aide openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of June 2026. The small share of remote-eligible roles typically involves telephonic care coordination or patient scheduling support rather than direct bedside care.
How can I get hired as a nursing aide in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing a state-approved nurse aide training program, many of which are offered free or at low cost through New York City Health + Hospitals, Northwell Health, and local community colleges like CUNY Bronx Community College. These programs often lead directly into paid positions for completers. Candidates with backgrounds as home health aides or patient care technicians frequently transition into nursing aide roles, and holding an active New York Nurse Aide Registry listing gives any applicant a clear edge over unregistered candidates.
Where can I find and apply to nursing aide jobs in New York?
