Nurses at two major hospitals in New York City have gone on strike, citing low wages and staffing levels that have left many exhausted several years into the COVID-19 pandemic.On Monday, about 3,600 nurses at Mount Sinai Hospital on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and as many as 3,500 at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx started their strike.“We were heroes only two years ago,” said Warren Urquhart, a nurse in transplant and oncology units. “We was on the front lines of the city when everything came to a stop. And now we need to come to a stop so they can understand how much we mean to this hospital and to the patients.”
