You have two possibilities to achieve what you're trying to do :

1. Setting your SSL through Nginx

This way you will be able to use your SSL Certificate on your PHP sites aswell. To achieve that, you'll have to set some rules in your virtual hosts file in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/foo. In the following example I've created a subdomain api.lvh.me (lvh.me redirecting to localhost)

server {
     listen 443 ssl;
     server_name api.lvh.me;

     ssl_certificate /path/to/certificate.crt;
     ssl_certificate_key /path/to/certificate.key;

     location / {
         proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/;
         proxy_http_version 1.1;
         proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
         proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
         proxy_set_header Host $host;
         proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
     }
}

2. Setting HTTPS directly on your Nodejs server

I won't go into details, everything is written on Nodejs's documentation (HTTPS Nodejs Documentation)
