Thousands of nurses at two New York City hospitals have ended a three-day strike after reaching a tentative contract agreement.

A nursing strike that has disrupted patient care at two of New York City's largest hospitals entered its third day Wednesday.

A union official said Tuesday that progress was being made toward a possible settlement at one of the institutions.

More than 7,000 nurses are on strike at two large New York City hospitals for a second day.

The walkout began Monday after contract negotiations stalled over staffing and salaries nearly three years into the coronavirus pandemic.

Close to 9,000 nurses at several major NYC hospitals are still preparing to go on strike on January 9.

10,000 nurses in and around New York City are ready to go on strike beginning January 9 after failing to reach an agreement on a new contract.

Beginning Tuesday, students and staff in Paterson must wear masks indoors, along with students in the Passaic School District, which reinstated the policy before winter vacation.

A possible strike by thousands of New York City nurses is looming even though nurses at one hospital reached a tentative agreement hours before their contract was set to expire.

The union that represents around 17,000 nurses gave management at 8 NYC hospitals a 10-day notice that they plan to walk off the job if a contract is not reached by January 9.

According to the New York State Nurses Associated, 99% of nurses at 12 New York City medical centers and hospital systems, including Mount Sinai and NewYork-Presbyterian have already voted in favor of going on strike.
