Thousands of striking New York City nurses have reached tentative agreements with hospitals and will return to work after a three-day walkout over inadequate nurse-to-patient ratios that they said had led to overstretched staff and undercut patient safety.

Negotiations ran into the late hours on Jan. 11 before tentative deals were struck with Mount Sinai Health System and Montefiore Health System, the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) said in a statement.
