How to Become a Remote Nurse Practitioner in New York

The first step to becoming a remote nurse practitioner is to ensure you hold a valid license as a registered nurse, which means completing the steps outlined by the New York State Education Department (NYSED). Once prospective remote nurse practitioners in New York meet the preliminary requirements, including RN licensures, you need to pursue the following:

  • Education: Graduate from a nurse practitioner education program registered by NYSED or deemed equivalent by the NYSED.
  • Course Requirement: Complete three semester hours of pharmacology coursework or an alternative designated by NYSED. If you recently graduated from an education program registered by NYSED, you have already met this criterion.
  • Certification: Certification as a nurse practitioner by an organization listed on the website linked above. If you meet the education requirement above, you do not need certification.
  • Fee: New York’s certification and initial registration to practice fee for each specialty practice area is $85.

Requirements for Remote Nurse Practitioners in New York

Once you earn your nurse practitioner license, you can decide which type of full-time nurse practitioner work suits you best wherever you live in New York, from New York City’s boroughs like the Bronx and Manhattan, to Albany and Ithaca.

As a nurse practitioner, you also have an array of opportunities that don’t require you to work full-time in a hospital, practice, or office. If you want to become a remote nurse practitioner (also referred to as a virtual nurse practitioner) or work-at-home nurse practitioner, here’s what you should know first:

  • Work-from-home nurse practitioner or remote nurse practitioner: These licensed nurse practitioners can live outside the area of the healthcare provider’s institution in which they work. There may be some on-site work at a medical center, but you will mostly telecommute.
  • Additional training: The standard of patient care in telehealth is the same as in-person care, and there is no state-mandated training specific to virtual care. However, telemedicine companies often provide training to educate clinicians on how to use relevant technology and platforms, as well as best practices for good bedside manner.
  • Necessary documentation: When applying for remote jobs, be sure to update your resume and provide appropriate documentation showing your education and credentials.

Telehealth companies often post open positions on job posting sites like Indeed, ZipRecruiter, Glassdoor, and LinkedIn, so this is a great place to start looking for virtual care opportunities. Wheel matches clinicians with virtual care opportunities and has a variety of positions available for NPs in New York.
