Salaries for nurses in New York City Health and Hospitals start at around $100,000, while physician salaries vary with specializations like cardiac thoracic surgeons earning around $900,000.
- Nurses with the new contract average a starting salary of over $100,000, with potential increases based on certifications and years of experience.
- Primary care physician salaries range between $180,000 and $220,000, being on the lower end of the earnings spectrum.

- The challenge in recruiting doctors to New York City is not primarily due to salary but the cost of living and housing constraints.

You said that we all know what the residents make.

The doctors and the nurses and residents, what do they make?
Mitch Katz
1:30:18
Well, of course, it depends.
1:30:19
So the nurses with the new contract I think average just over a $100,000 for a starting nurse, more with depending upon what's certifications and number of years.

Physicians salaries can vary tremendously from what I am.

A cardiac thoracic surgeon might be 900.
Vickie Paladino
1:30:59
The reason why I'm asking is because you said so many people leave New York.
1:31:04
Because of the cost of living.
1:31:06
And if you're making that kind of money, that's pretty that's that's a good living.
1:31:11
Right.
1:31:12
And why don't they stay?
Mitch Katz
1:31:15
So I actually said that it's hard to recruit into New York.
