Nursing Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a nursing in New York?

To become a registered nurse in New York, you must graduate from an accredited nursing program, pass the NCLEX-RN exam, and obtain a license through the New York State Education Department's Office of the Professions. New York accepts applications through its online licensing portal, and your license must be active before you begin patient care. LPN candidates follow the same Office of the Professions pathway but sit for the NCLEX-PN instead.

Which companies hire nursings in New York?

Employers hiring nursings in New York right now include Rochester Regional Health, Cayuga Medical Center, and Theradynamics, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. New York's large integrated health systems and municipal hospital networks post the most consistent volume, with openings at flagship campuses and community sites throughout the state.

Which New York cities have the most nursing jobs?

New York, Bronx, and Queens are the New York cities with the most nursing openings. New York City dominates by volume because of the density of major academic medical centers and municipal hospitals there, while Buffalo and Albany anchor regional demand through large systems like Kaleida Health, Albany Med, and St. Peter's Health Partners serving upstate populations.

Are there remote nursing jobs in New York?

Yes, but they're rare. About 0% of nursing openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of most bedside and clinical roles. The positions most likely to be fully remote are utilization review, case management, telephonic triage, and insurance authorization roles that don't require direct patient contact.

How can I get hired as a nursing in New York with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is a new graduate residency program, and large New York systems including Northwell Health, NewYork-Presbyterian, and NYC Health and Hospitals run structured residencies designed specifically for new NCLEX-RN passers. Applying to med-surg, step-down, or long-term care roles is also practical for candidates without specialty experience. Holding an active New York State RN license and completing a clinical capstone in a high-volume setting gives candidates a clear edge.

Where can I find and apply to nursing jobs in New York?
