Why Contract?
Contract pay is quoted hourly and trades off benefits and tenure. Compare the full package against a permanent offer.

Licensure and practice rules in New York
AANP classifies New York as a full practice state. NPs in New York with 3,600 hours of practice or fewer must practice in collaboration with a physician under a written practice agreement and written practice protocols. NPs with more than 3,600 hours of practice are currently exempt from those requirements.
New York is not a Nurse Licensure Compact member, so out-of-state RNs apply for a New York RN license by endorsement.
Applications, fees and renewal rules come from the New York State Board of Nursing.
