NYSNA is expected to provide an update on the NYC nurse strike affecting the Bronx and Manhattan later today. Here's what happened on Day 1 and all the latest.
The privately owned, nonprofit hospitals were postponing nonemergency surgeries, diverting ambulances to other medical centers, and pulling in temporary staffers.
The union for nurses, the New York State Nurses Association, said they had to strike because chronic understaffing leaves them caring for too many patients.
