Best way to make a node.js file executable using nvm

Question

I'm using nvm to manage my node versions. My node.js executable files used to be sha bang'ed like so #! /usr/local/bin/node but now it seems like I would have to do something like #! /Users/<userName>/.nvm/versions/node/v6.3.1/bin/node to accomplish the same thing.

What's the best way to handle this?

I am using #!/usr/bin/env node in my node executable and it seems to work. There is a reference here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_(Unix)#Portability

I ended up using /usr/local/bin/node after symlinking from nvm to that path
