4,500+ Nursing & Healthcare Jobs in New York, NY

Observed local pay is high, but the public averages in this bundle are not perfectly tidy. BLS-based sources put the metro group's mean hourly wage at $62.24 and about $52.26 for May 2025, and both still point to pay above the national average. In the current posting sample, annual ranges center on about $100k to $130k and hourly-paid roles center on about $50 to $65 / hour, while Revelio Public Labor Statistics puts the mean offered salary on new openings for healthcare practitioners in New York at ~$117,534 in August 2026 (n=12,820). For a high-end subrole proxy, a BLS-based analysis estimated a metro nurse practitioner median of about $163,340 in May 2025, versus a New York statewide median of $153,510 and a 90th percentile of about $198,060.

What our analysts see this month

Competitive market | next 3-6 months

This is still a good market for licensed clinicians, but it is not an easy one. Metro Education and Health Services employment reached 2,374 thousand in June 2026 and was up 2.3496% year over year, faster than the metro's overall nonfarm growth of 0.6837%. At the same time, Revelio Public Labor Statistics shows healthcare practitioner employment in New York up 2.6% year over year in August 2026 while active postings for the occupation were down 16.0%, which points to steady need but tighter requisition flow and more selective screening. Pay remains high by local standards, with BLS showing metro healthcare practitioner wages above the national average and current postings clustering around about $100k to $130k or about $50 to $65 / hour.

Best positioned: The best odds right now go to already licensed, on-site-ready clinicians who can show strong patient assessment, patient education, clinical documentation, and current BLS or ACLS coverage where relevant.

Main caution: Do not confuse high pay with easy access: most roles are on-site, most openings skew mid-career, and top-end salary figures are concentrated in advanced-practice or specialty tracks rather than the whole category.

Where the demand is

Real opportunity is concentrated in health systems and hospital-linked care delivery. In the current posting sample, most Healthcare Practitioners demand sits in healthcare (about 65%), hospitals and health care (about 15%), health care services & hospitals (about 10%), and healthcare services (about 5%). The most consistently active employers include RWJBarnabas Health (more than 400), Hackensack Meridian Health, Inc. (more than 250), Atlantic Health System (more than 175), and Northwell (more than 175) over the last 90 days. This is not a one-employer market. Hiring is fragmented across employers in the sample, which means one rejection does not shut you out of the region. The near-term operational pressure still looks strongest around bedside coverage and continuity of care: late-August developments at NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist and statewide merger testimony both centered on staffing protection. Longer-horizon demand is also showing up where systems are adding capacity. NYU Langone Hospital-Suffolk won approval in late August 2026 for a $650 million expansion adding a seven-story, 144-bed pavilion, a signal of multi-year need for hospital-based practitioners across the metro footprint.

• Large hospital systems and inpatient care (high): This is the clearest opportunity cluster, supported by hospital-heavy industry mix, named system hiring, and live staffing signals in NYC-area hospitals.
• System-affiliated outpatient and telehealth-enabled care (moderate): Virtual-capable workflows are becoming more relevant because New York Medicaid covers four telehealth modalities, but local remote share is still small so this is a secondary lane, not the main market.
• Advanced-practice and specialty roles (moderate): Advanced-practice and specialty clinical tracks offer some of the strongest pay and remain structurally attractive, but they are narrower and more credential-sensitive than the category as a whole.

Where to focus: Prioritize hospital systems and large multisite provider networks first, then use outpatient and telehealth-capable groups as a second lane if your license and workflow experience already fit them.

Roles worth searching next

• Clinical documentation improvement specialist: Local demand consistently asks for documentation skill, and 2026 workflow signals show AI drafting more of the first pass of notes, summaries, and orders that still need clinical review.
• Telehealth operations or virtual care coordinator: New York Medicaid's telehealth coverage now spans four delivery modes, which creates demand for people who can make virtual-care workflows actually run.
• Clinical informatics specialist: Health systems are prioritizing AI-fluent healthcare professionals, and employers increasingly value clinical decision-support, data analytics, and workflow automation familiarity.
• Healthcare quality or population health analyst: Data analytics, AI literacy, and digital communication skills are becoming more important in healthcare management-adjacent work.

What postings ask for

• BLS / BLS certification (table_stakes | immediate): BLS or BLS certification is the most commonly cited credential in local postings, appearing in about 10% of postings that list certifications. Who: Most bedside, urgent, procedural, and newly licensed clinicians.
• ACLS (differentiator | immediate): ACLS shows up in about 5% of local postings that list certifications, making it a useful screen-clearer for acute-care and procedural settings. Who: RNs, advanced practice clinicians, and hospital-based candidates.
• Patient assessment (table_stakes | immediate): Patient assessment is one of the most-requested hard skills in local postings, appearing in about 20% of the sample. Who: All direct-care clinicians, especially entry and mid-career applicants.
• Clinical documentation and note validation (differentiator | immediate): Clinical documentation appears in about 15% of local postings, and 2026 healthcare workflow signals show AI increasingly drafting notes and summaries that clinicians still need to validate and finalize. Who: Hospital, outpatient, therapy, and advanced-practice candidates.
• Telehealth and remote patient monitoring workflow (differentiator | near-term): New York Medicaid now covers audio-only, audio/visual, remote patient monitoring, and store-and-forward telehealth, so candidates who can document and deliver care inside those workflows have an edge. Who: NPs, behavioral health clinicians, therapists, care managers, and ambulatory clinicians.
• Clinical decision-support and AI-fluent practice (premium | near-term): More than 80% of physicians surveyed by the AMA reported using AI professionally, and national skills signals now call out clinical decision-support systems, AI-driven patient data analytics, and workflow automation familiarity. Who: Physicians, advanced practice clinicians, nurse leaders, and candidates targeting informatics-heavy environments.
