NP Positions NY: 7 Cardiology Openings to Evaluate in 2026
Cardiology nurse practitioner postings in New York share a job title and almost nothing else. The state employed approximately 16,670 nurse practitioners in May 2023 at a mean annual wage of $142,830, one of the largest advanced-practice labor markets in the country (Bureau of Labor Statistics occupational employment and wage estimates for nurse practitioners). Inside that market, "NP, Cardiology" describes a stress lab in Harlem and a cardiothoracic ICU in Brooklyn with equal accuracy.
Four variables separate those roles. Subspecialty focus decides whether the day runs on guideline-directed heart failure titration or on device interrogation. Care setting determines whether the NP owns a longitudinal panel or rounds on a surgical service. Supervision and credentialing thresholds set how much physician collaboration the employer has to build around the seat. Schedule decides whether the role survives contact with a real life.
A search for NP positions NY turns up inpatient cardiology, outpatient cardiovascular medicine, advanced heart failure, pulmonary arterial hypertension, LVAD and transplant programs, remote device clinics, anticoagulation clinics, preoperative clearance, stress testing, device interrogation, and contrast echo support (Columbia University cardiology advanced practice postings). Seven openings follow, each assessed on role type, subspecialty focus, setting, disclosed compensation, schedule, and experience threshold.

1. Advanced Practice Recruitment at American Cardiology Group
A cardiac search fails in a predictable way when the recruiter can't distinguish a structural heart NP from an electrophysiology NP. American Cardiology Group runs an Advanced Practice Recruitment service built only for cardiac care, placing nurse practitioners and physician assistants with hospitals, health systems, academic centers, and private practices. On the same criteria applied to every opening below, this is a sourcing channel rather than a clinical post: role type covers NPs and PAs, the subspecialty focus is cardiac-only, the setting is whatever institution is hiring, compensation isn't published, schedule doesn't apply, and the experience threshold is set by the employer.
The service covers the full advanced-practice bench, from general cardiology clinics through surgical programs.
Why a cardiology-only bench changes a shortlist
A generalist healthcare recruiter screens for license, years, and commute. Those three filters produce a stack of CVs that look alike and an interview loop that discovers the mismatch in week three. A specialty partner screens earlier on the variables that decide a cardiac placement: which subspecialty the candidate has practiced in, whether they've carried an independent clinic panel, whether they've managed an LVAD alarm at 2 a.m.
That narrowness pays off in the intake conversation. The clinical vocabulary is shared from day one, so the discussion moves from "we need an NP" to the specific blend of device clinic, heart failure titration, and preoperative clearance a program needs to staff.
Two more factors matter to a service line director weighing a search. The candidate network reaches nationally rather than within a single metro, which is the practical difference between filling a Staten Island seat and filling a Johnson City seat. And the process is built around fit that holds, not just a signed offer, because a cardiac APP who leaves inside a year costs the program a credentialing cycle and a locum gap.
Strengths
Cardiology and cardiac surgery only: the search stays inside the specialty instead of spreading across general healthcare.
Both provider types: NPs and PAs are placed, which suits services running a blended advanced-practice model.
Nationwide reach: hospitals, health systems, academic centers, and private practices all sit in scope.
Clinical and cultural fit: candidates are matched on practice history and team fit, not license alone.
Structured process: a data-driven approach aimed at filling roles efficiently rather than extending the search.
Trade-offs
No published fee, timeline, or placement guarantee: employers should raise all three at intake rather than assume them.
Cardiac-only scope: a hospital recruiting across service lines still needs a second partner for everything else.

2. Columbia University Irving Medical Center Advanced Heart Failure, LVAD and Transplant NP
The panel inside Columbia's Center for Advanced Cardiac Care has already outgrown the standard heart failure algorithm. This NP role covers advanced heart failure, LVAD management, and transplant recipients, coordinating between outpatient and inpatient teams and working alongside physicians, surgeons, pharmacists, and social workers.
The operational load is real. Patient education, triage, admissions coordination, and longitudinal follow-up sit alongside weekly team meetings and research-informed practice. The posting lists $145,000 to $165,000 annually for 35 hours per week, an adult-trained NP with a master's degree, New York RN and NP licenses, and board certification, with one to two years of hospital experience preferred.
The credential question that decides the offer
New York counts qualifying practice completed in another state, or with the U.S. Veterans Administration, Armed Forces, or Public Health Service, toward the experience that lifts the written practice-agreement requirement (NYSED Part 64 rules for nurse practitioners). For an academic center recruiting nationally, that means a candidate out of a Boston or Houston transplant program can arrive already past the collaboration requirement, which changes onboarding cost and deployment speed from the first week.
Ask for the LVAD and transplant volumes the candidate personally managed rather than the program's published volumes. The gap between those two numbers is usually wide, and it's the difference between a clinician who can run a clinic and one who has watched one.
Strengths and trade-offs
Subspecialty depth: one of the few New York openings that puts an NP inside mechanical support and transplant longitudinally.
Disclosed terms: both the salary band and the weekly hours are published, which is unusual at this acuity.
Academic setting: team-based care, complex cases, and a teaching culture with weekly multidisciplinary review.
Experience floor: hospital experience is preferred, so a new graduate will struggle against this pool.
Location flexibility: the role may require practice at other ColumbiaDoctors sites.
Compensation variables: final pay depends on qualifications and other factors.
Application route: Columbia University faculty opportunities posting
For NPs weighing the move into transplant, read the career case for nurse practitioner cardiology as a subspecialty track before committing to a program's call structure.
3. AdvantageCare Physicians Cardiology NP in Harlem
A stress test is an operator-dependent study, and this posting prices that in. The Harlem role requires one to two years of NP experience treating cardiovascular conditions plus documented experience independently supervising at least 100 cardiac stress tests, which filters for someone who has run a treadmill lab rather than observed one.
The work is full-time and in person: outpatient cardiology consultation, conducting, recording, and interpreting cardiac stress tests, diagnosis, treatment planning, medication prescribing, and chronic disease management. The hiring range is $150,000 to $165,000, and the practice network behind the role operates more than 30 offices across New York City and Long Island.
Where the experience line actually falls
New York generally requires NPs to practice under written protocols and a written practice agreement with a collaborating physician until they complete more than 3,600 qualifying hours, after which they may practice independently within their education, certification, and clinical competence (NYSED practice information for nurse practitioners). At full-time hours, that threshold lands inside the two-year window this posting asks for, so the experience requirement is really an autonomy screen dressed as a hiring preference.
Practical rule: bring a written log of supervised stress tests with volumes, interpretation counts, and the share read independently. Outpatient cardiology groups treat that log as a credential, not a formality.
What works and what doesn't
Defined clinical lane: cardiovascular assessment and stress testing rather than a general primary care panel.
Published pay: the range is disclosed up front, which shortens negotiation.
Network scale: more than 30 offices create internal movement for a clinician who wants it.
Hard testing volume: the 100-test requirement will exclude strong NPs who trained in inpatient or critical care settings.
On-site only: this is a clinical, in-person role with no remote option.
Application and job alerts: AdvantageCare Physicians careers
Benchmark the band against average nurse practitioner salary data before the first call, because a Manhattan-range offer and a Long Island-range offer rarely price the same commute.
4. NewYork-Presbyterian Cardiology NP in Cortlandt Manor
Transparent bands are still rare enough to count as a selection criterion. This Westchester outpatient role lists $157,500 to $180,758 for a 40-hour daytime schedule, and the work is the steady core of cardiology practice: routine visits, follow-up, and patient education inside an NYP Medical Group practice.
Requirements sit at the standard floor, with New York RN and NP licenses plus BLS and ACLS, and cardiology NP experience preferred rather than mandated. Postings rotate on the NYP site, so search "Nurse Practitioner – Cardiology" filtered to Cortlandt Manor instead of trusting a saved link.
The governance document nobody reads until month two
An early-career NP in a busy outpatient practice works under a written practice agreement, and New York specifies what it must contain: referral and consultation procedures, emergency coverage, resolution of disagreements about diagnosis or treatment, and physician review of patient records at least every three months (NYSED practice requirements). Handled at offer stage, that's a governance document of a couple of pages. Handled late, it becomes a scheduling problem that lands on the NP.
A quarterly record review is a calendar commitment, not a formality. Confirm who owns it, and check that the collaborating physician sits on the same site and the same shift pattern, before signing.
What works and what doesn't
Compensation disclosed: a defined band instead of "commensurate with experience."
Schedule predictability: daytime clinic hours, which suits a candidate leaving inpatient rotations.
Geography: Westchester as an alternative to Manhattan or Long Island, with a different housing market attached.
Commute is on the candidate: the role is on-site, and NYP states it doesn't reimburse travel expenses.
Experience still preferred: the cardiology-specific learning curve is real in an outpatient panel.
Application: the NYP careers site is the only reliable source while postings move.
5. Northwell Health General Cardiology NP or PA in Staten Island
A $121,200 to $212,100 band isn't a salary range. It's an admission that the employer will price the seat after meeting the candidate. Northwell's Staten Island general cardiology role is open to an NP or a PA, and the duties are the generalist core: histories, exams, rounds, ordering medications and diagnostic tests, interpreting results, and coordinating with physicians and clinical staff.
The width of the band is the story. Specialty, experience, credentials, and location all move the number, so a candidate who accepts the low end without testing those variables leaves money behind. The posting is also light on subspecialty and setting detail, which means the interview has to establish whether the seat sits on a hospital cardiology service or in an ambulatory practice.
Reading a wide band: treat the midpoint as the working market and the ceiling as a number reserved for a candidate who brings a subspecialty the group needs. Ask which subspecialty that is.
What to verify before applying
Scope of practice: general cardiology, with NPs and PAs assessed against the same duty list.
Site of care: not specified in the posting, so confirm hospital versus office before scheduling.
Compensation mechanics: ask what moves a candidate inside the band, not just what the band is.
Direct employer route: no agency layer between applicant and hiring manager, which usually means a faster credentialing start.
Not NP-exclusive: physician assistants compete for the same seat.
Thin detail: subspecialty and setting need clarification on the first call.
Application: Northwell Health careers, Nurse Practitioner Staten Island
Convert the band to an hourly figure and then to a total package before comparing it with anything else. Hourly pay data for nurse practitioners makes that arithmetic honest, particularly when one offer carries a pension contribution and another carries a sign-on bonus.
6. United Health Services Cardiology NP or PA in Johnson City
The Johnson City UHS opening offers a weekday schedule and a disclosed salary range, with a trade-off: the role accepts either an NP or a PA, and applicants need to clarify how their credentials fit the position. The work spans hospital and office settings under physician direction, with hours listed as Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and pay of $136,600 to $159,300.
Cardiology experience is not necessarily required, making this a possible transition for an NP from another specialty. Before accepting, ask what cardiology onboarding the Heart and Vascular Institute provides and how the position divides time between hospital and office care.
The locum comparison regional hospitals should run
Temporary locum coverage can help a community hospital maintain service while a permanent search continues. Rates vary by assignment, so compare the locum offer with a salaried package by looking at total value, not the hourly rate alone.
Total value, not headline rate: A locum rate does not include salaried benefits and offers no guarantee beyond the assignment. Credentialing also takes time at both ends. A lower annual salary may still provide greater value through housing costs, retirement contributions, and clinical continuity.
What works and what doesn't
Schedule: Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; no night rotation is listed.
Compensation: The posting discloses a salary range.
Regional setting: Johnson City offers an upstate alternative to downstate roles.
Professional development: UHS describes professional-development and internal-mobility opportunities.
Experience threshold: Cardiology experience is not stated as a requirement, but ask what training and support are provided.
Credential fit: The role accepts an NP or PA; confirm the specific licensing and certification requirements.
Location: Johnson City is a Southern Tier option, not a New York City or Long Island commute.
Application: Check the United Health Services careers site for the Johnson City cardiology NP or PA opening.
7. NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Lead NP in Cardiothoracic Surgery
The Brooklyn Methodist lead NP role combines team leadership with direct care across the cardiothoracic ICU and stepdown units. The clinical scope includes postoperative recovery, lines and drains, rhythm management, and family communication. Compare it with outpatient cardiology openings by the setting and acuity, not just the title.
The posting lists $164,000 to $208,000 and requires at least three years of NP experience in cardiothoracic ICU, cardiac surgery, critical care, or a related specialty. Coverage rotates across evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays. That schedule is a real trade-off against the leadership scope and compensation.
New York practice rules and leadership scope
NP autonomy in New York depends on experience and the practice-agreement rules summarized earlier in the article. Candidates and employers should confirm how those rules apply to the role rather than assume that a leadership title changes practice requirements.
For the hiring team, assess leadership separately from clinical depth. Ask how the candidate would handle a night-shift staffing gap, support the team, and maintain care across the ICU and stepdown units. Those answers show how the person approaches both operational demands and high-acuity work.
What works and what doesn't
Leadership plus practice: team oversight, mentoring, and program development alongside hands-on critical care.
Compensation disclosed: the posted range makes the seniority and pay band clear.
Career path: the role offers a route into advanced-practice leadership within a surgical service line.
Experience threshold: three years in CTICU, cardiac surgery, critical care, or a related specialty excludes new NPs.
Rotating coverage: evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays limit schedule predictability.
Commute: the position is on site, and NYP does not reimburse travel expenses.

Turning a Shortlist Into a Well-Matched Offer
Five checks, run on every opening, resolve the comparison faster than any salary sort.
Subspecialty focus. Decide whether the seat is general cardiology, advanced heart failure, electrophysiology, structural heart, or surgical critical care, then match it against documented practice rather than the job title. A posting that names a program but not a subspecialty is a posting that hasn't been scoped.
Licensing and experience thresholds. Confirm the New York RN and NP licenses, and match the NYSED certification area to the patient population being treated rather than to general registered-nurse licensure, since the state recognizes specialties including acute care, adult health, family health, gerontology, oncology, palliative care, pediatrics, psychiatry, and women's health (NYSED certification requirements for nurse practitioners).
Schedule against clinical goals. A 40-hour daytime clinic and a rotating CTICU leadership post both read as full-time cardiology on a posting and feel nothing alike in month six. Get the rotation, call frequency, and holiday expectations in writing before the second interview.
Commute and travel policy. Two openings reviewed here are on-site with no travel reimbursement, which turns a Westchester or Brooklyn offer into a housing decision rather than a salary decision. Run the commute at shift-change hours, not on a Sunday afternoon.
Compensation against scope. Compare the disclosed band with what the role owns. A heart failure NP carrying a transplant panel and a general cardiology NP running a stress lab aren't in the same labor market, even when the bands overlap by $30,000.
The pattern across these seven openings holds. The role that reads best on paper isn't always the one with the highest number attached, and the employers who disclose both pay and scope consistently attract stronger finalists. Hiring managers who publish the band, name the collaborating physician, and describe the schedule get further with candidates than those who leave everything to negotiation.
Employers and candidates who work through these criteria early reach lasting placements faster. American Cardiology Group takes that same shortlist discipline into its advanced practice recruitment work for NPs and PAs, and candidates can search and apply for curated cardiology roles through the website.
Cardiology hiring in New York rewards the employer who can describe a role precisely and the NP who can read that description accurately. American Cardiology Group works both sides of that exchange through permanent physician recruitment, locum tenens coverage, advanced practice placement, and executive search, all inside cardiac care.
