Nearly 15,000 nurses in New York City have been on strike, but the largest nursing strike in the city could be nearing an end as thousands of nurses have reached tentative agreements with some hospitals, according to the nurses' union. Approximately 10,500 members of the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) reached agreements with Montefiore, Mount Sinai Hospital and Mount Sinai Morningside and West, and will hold ratification votes before returning to work this week. However, some 4,200 nurses are continuing to strike at NewYork-Presbyterian with no agreement reached yet.
Why it matters
The nursing strike has disrupted healthcare services across New York City, with thousands of patients impacted. The tentative agreements represent a potential breakthrough in resolving the labor dispute, which has centered on issues like staffing levels, pay, and benefits. A full resolution could help restore normal operations at some of the city's largest hospitals.
The details
The tentative agreements were reached between NYSNA and Montefiore, Mount Sinai Hospital, and Mount Sinai Morningside and West. The nurses will hold ratification votes and then return to work this week. However, some 4,200 nurses at NewYork-Presbyterian are continuing to strike with no agreement reached yet.
- The nursing strike began on February 6, 2026.
- Tentative agreements were reached on February 9, 2026.

What’s next
The nurses at Montefiore, Mount Sinai Hospital, and Mount Sinai Morningside and West will hold ratification votes this week before returning to work. Negotiations are ongoing between NYSNA and NewYork-Presbyterian to try to reach an agreement and end the strike at that hospital.
The takeaway
While the tentative agreements represent progress, the nursing strike in New York City is not fully resolved. Continued negotiations and compromises will be needed to ensure all nurses return to work and patients receive uninterrupted care across the city's healthcare system.
