All 508 nurses in Kirinyaga county have called off their strike.
They resumed work after their representatives held a consultative meeting with the County government.
The move comes just three days after governor Anne Waiguru, announced that her government was discussing a return to work formula with the striking health workers.
"We are talking with the nurses in order to end the strike," Ms Waiguru said.
"We have come to the hospital for treatment because the nurses are now available. We have suffered so much since the nurses laid down their tools," said Ms Alice Wakuthii, a patient.
The nurses boycotted work demanding the implementation of Collective Bargaining Agreement(CBA).
They have been away from their workstations for more than 100 days and paralysed essential health services.
Due to the protracted strike, many patients had been forced to seek treatment at private clinics while those that could not afford the exorbitant medical fees stayed at home.
