More than 800 nurses at the University of Illinois hospital (UIH) in Chicago went on strike starting Saturday morning after contract negotiations broke down over nurse-to-patient ratios.
About 1,400 nurses were originally set to walk off the job, but a judge granted a temporary restraining order Friday preventing select critical care nurses from striking.
The hospital announced “staffing interruptions” Saturday as it informed patients how the seven-day strike could affect their appointments.
