Thousands of striking nurses can return to work today after the union reached a deal with two remaining hospitals overnight. ZinniaDee_TV has the latest.
"A ghost town" is how some are describing some hospitals.
Thousands of nurses from Mount Sinai in East Harlem and Montefiore in the Bronx spent Wednesday on the picket lines, instead of at patients' bedsides. "They're nice, beautiful people. Problem is that they're not trained in cancer treatment. So now we have my sister-in-law, who just got a bone marrow transplant, who has to help the nurses administer her own medication," Barriera said.When asked if there are enough nurses in the hospital currently, James said,"No, there isn't. It's nothing like having the Montefiore nursing department. They're just cohesive in situations like this.
"When you have to drive from the Bronx to Westchester County to be seen by a nurse that can take care of seven patients, versus the nurses here that have to take care of 15 or 20, it's not nice," St. John's nurse Devin McLaughlin said. A hospital spokesman told CBS2 mothers currently enrolled will continue treatment, but the facility no longer has the grant dollars for new patients and"continue to actively seek new funding."
