A nursing strike that has disrupted patient care at two of New York City’s largest hospitals has entered its second day
at two of New York City's largest hospitals
The two hospitals, Montefiore Medical Center and Mount Sinai Hospital, were postponing nonemergency surgeries, diverting ambulances to other medical centers, pulling in temporary staffers and assigning administrators with nursing backgrounds to work in wards in order to cope with the walkout of as many as 7,100 nurses.
On the picket line outside, nurses said they had to strike because chronic understaffing leaves them caring for too many patients. Meanwhile, as of midday, negotiations hadn't yet resumed at Mount Sinai Hospital, on Manhattan's east side. Hospital spokesperson Lucia Lee expressed hope that talks could soon resume with the union, the New York State Nurses Association.Montefiore and Mount Sinai are the last of a group of hospitals with nursing contracts that expired simultaneously.
