Search Nursing Jobs in New YorkNursing Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies sponsor visas for nurses in New York?
Large health systems are the primary sponsors for nursing roles in New York. NYC Health + Hospitals, NewYork-Presbyterian, Northwell Health, Mount Sinai Health System, and Montefiore Medical Center have all sponsored foreign nurses. Staffing agencies with travel nursing divisions also sponsor, though the structure and visa type differ from direct hospital employment. Sponsorship availability varies by unit, facility, and workforce needs at any given time.
Which visa types are most common for nursing roles in New York?
The EB-3 immigrant visa is the most common pathway for internationally trained nurses seeking permanent positions in New York, typically paired with PERM labor certification filed by the employer. The H-1B visa is rarely used for nursing because most RN roles do not meet the specialty occupation standard. The TN visa applies only to Canadian and Mexican nationals. Some nurses enter on a J-1 visa exchange visitor visa through hospital training programs, though this carries a two-year home residency requirement.
Which cities in New York have the most nursing sponsorship jobs?
New York City accounts for the largest share of nursing sponsorship jobs in the state, driven by its concentration of academic medical centers and public hospital systems across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx. Buffalo is a secondary market, with Kaleida Health and ECMC Group active in international hiring. Rochester, anchored by the University of Rochester Medical Center and Rochester Regional Health, also posts internationally sponsored nursing positions with regularity.
How to find nursing visa sponsorship jobs in New York?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for international job seekers and filters nursing roles in New York by visa sponsorship availability, so you can avoid applying to positions where sponsorship is not offered. On Migrate Mate, you can narrow by location, role type, and visa category to focus on employers actively hiring foreign-trained nurses. Given New York's licensing requirements, it also helps to confirm NCLEX eligibility and credential evaluation status before applying, as many employers will ask early in the process.
Are there state-specific requirements nurses should know before pursuing sponsorship in New York?
New York requires all registered nurses to hold a license issued by the New York State Education Department, which includes passing the NCLEX-RN and having foreign credentials evaluated through an approved credential evaluation service such as CGFNS. New York City's public hospital system operates under union agreements that can affect how sponsorship is structured. Prevailing wage compliance is required for all sponsored positions, and employers filing PERM applications must demonstrate active recruitment before sponsoring a foreign worker.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored nursing jobs in New York?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
