When 15,000 NYC nurses went on strike this winter, it wasn’t for spectacle. It was for patient safety.

NYSNA nurses won enforceable safe staffing standards, workplace violence protections, safeguards around AI, and stronger patient protections. Through collective action, they set a new standard for care in New York and beyond!

Check out the latest op-ed by NYSNA President Nancy Hagans, RN, BSN, CCRN. https://www.cityandstateny.com/nyn-media/2026/03/opinion-why-new-yorks-nurses-walked-out-what-we-won-and-why-it-matters/412489/

All workers deserve to retire with dignity. That's why its time to .

The current plan forces nurses and public sector workers to pay more, work longer, and retire with less. Public sector workers deserve better.

Today, NYSNA President Nancy Hagans, RN, BSN, CCRN, spoke alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders and other elected officials at a rally in the Bronx to tax the rich. As Hagans said: "To have a healthy and thriving New York, we need everyone to contribute their fair share. We need to tax the rich to fund healthcare for all, to fairly fund our hospitals, and to deliver the services that support our communities. It’s not enough to beat back the attacks from the Trump administration. We also have to show who we are as New Yorkers—by putting our money where our mouth is!"

What a strong and diverse and caring America looks like. We are here to stay – and we will win! "

NYSNA nurses at St. Joseph’s Medical Center in Yonkers spoke our earlier today to sound the alarm on a growing staffing crisis!

In just the first 3 months of 2026, nurses have filed 130+ unsafe staffing complaints, documenting how patient care and their licenses are being put at risk. Too often nurses are stretched thin and work overtime to finish care and charting. This leads to exhaustion, burnout, and fewer nurses staying at the bedside.

Nurses are demanding hospital management negotiate a fair contract that will recruit and retain nurses!

When nurses fight, we win! Last week, North Star/Carthage Area Hospital and Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center nurses held a speak out to demand fair funding for their hospitals. They also launched a community petition, which more than 1,000 North Country residents signed, calling on the Department of Health to take action and stabilize funding.

New York State delivered, funding the hospitals and committing to sustaining funding for the next few weeks! Nurses will continue to fight to include fair funding for our rural and safety net hospitals in the New York State budget, but for now, this is a huge victory. Congratulations, Carthage and Claxton nurses!
