Nurses were out in rain and cold temperatures for more than a month, fighting for a new contract.
The nurses' union says they have reached a deal on maintaining health benefits at two hospitals - this was a key sticking point.
As the 12th day of the nursing strike comes to an end, the New York State Nurses Association says talks with hospital executives have broken off with no new negotiations scheduled.
After urging from the Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Zohran Mamdani, both sides returned to the bargaining table on Thursday.
Nurses say they have no plans on getting off the picket line until a fair contract is on the table, even as they picket in brutally cold temperatures.
Bernie Sanders joined Mayor Mamdani, who brought boxes of doughnuts to striking nurses outside Mount Sinai West.
