According to NYSNA, 93% voted yes, and 7% voted to reject the contract.

“This is a proud moment for our union,” said NYSNA President Nancy Hagans in prepared remarks. “15,000 NYSNA nurses went out on strike, and finally all 15,000 will be returning to the bedside. We are so happy with the wins we achieved, and now the fight to enforce these contracts and hold our employers accountable begins. NYSNA nurses showed what it means to advocate for patients, and this moment will go down in history as a win for our communities, in the fight for healthcare justice, and for the labor movement.”
