(ABRIDGED) We use the 17th data release of the second phase of the ApachePoint Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE-2) to provide ahomogenous census of N-rich red giant stars across the Milky Way (MW). Wereport a total of 149 newly identified N-rich field giants toward the bulge,metal-poor disk, and halo of our Galaxy. They exhibit significant enrichment intheir nitrogen abundance ratios ([N/Fe] $\gtrsim+0.5$), along with simultaneousdepletions in their [C/Fe] abundance ratios ([C/Fe] $< +0.15$), and they covera wide range of metallicities ($-1.8 < $ [Fe/H] $ <-0.7$). The final sample ofcandidate N-rich red giant stars with globular-cluster-like (GC-like) abundancepatterns from the APOGEE survey includes a grand total of $\sim$ 412 uniqueobjects. These strongly N-enhanced stars are speculated to have been strippedfrom GCs based on their chemical similarities with these systems. Even thoughwe have not found any strong evidence for binary companions or signatures ofpulsating variability yet, we cannot rule out the possibility that some ofthese objects were members of binary systems in the past and/or are currentlypart of a variable system. In particular, the fact that we identify such starsamong the field stars in our Galaxy provides strong evidence that thenucleosynthetic process(es) producing the anomalous [N/Fe] abundance ratiosoccurs over a wide range of metallicities. This may provide evidence either foror against the uniqueness of the progenitor stars to GCs and/or the existenceof chemical anomalies associated with likely tidally shredded clusters inmassive dwarf galaxies such as "Kraken/Koala," \textit{Gaia}-Enceladus-Sausage,among others, before or during their accretion by the MW. A dynamical analysisreveals that the newly identified N-rich stars exhibit a wide range ofdynamical characteristics throughout the MW, ...
