Registered Nurse Case Manager Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a registered nurse case manager in New York?
You must first hold an active RN license issued by the New York State Education Department, which requires passing the NCLEX-RN exam after completing an accredited nursing program. From there, most New York employers expect at least two years of direct clinical experience before moving into case management. Earning a certification such as the Certified Case Manager credential from the Commission for Case Manager Certification strengthens applications considerably with New York hospital systems and managed care organizations.
How much do registered nurse case managers make in New York?
Registered nurse case managers 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 registered nurse case managers in New York?
Employers hiring registered nurse case managers in New York right now include Newark Wayne Community Hospital, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. New York's large integrated health systems and regional managed care plans tend to post the most consistent volume, particularly in the New York City metro and along the Albany corridor.
Which New York cities have the most registered nurse case manager jobs?
The cities with the most registered nurse case manager openings in New York are Rochester, Brooklyn, and New York. New York City dominates because of the concentration of major health systems, managed care insurers, and specialty hospitals headquartered there, while secondary markets like Albany and Buffalo are supported by regional hospital networks and state-administered health programs that maintain steady case management headcount.
Are there remote registered nurse case manager jobs in New York?
Yes, and more than most nursing roles. About 5% of registered nurse case manager openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting the telephonic and documentation-heavy nature of much case management work. Utilization management and telephonic care coordination roles are the most consistently available in remote or hybrid formats, while roles requiring in-person assessments or hospital-based discharge planning remain on-site.
How can I get hired as a registered nurse case manager in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is transitioning from a high-acuity bedside role, since New York employers treat ICU, telemetry, or emergency department experience as a direct foundation for case management work. Large New York health systems like Northwell Health and NYU Langone Health run new-grad residency programs that expose nurses to care coordination early. Applying for care transition coordinator or utilization review associate titles is a practical lateral move, and beginning the CCM certification process signals commitment even before you have the full eligibility hours.
Where can I find and apply to registered nurse case manager jobs in New York?
You can find and apply to registered nurse case manager 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 location, and apply directly to the employers posting them.
