Extending a warm welcome to you and your colleagues to join us at the Catalysts for Care 2025 Nursing Grand Rounds Speaker Series! [A person in a blue shirt AI-generated content may be incorrect.] Date: November 18th, 2025, 12:00 - 1:00 pm, ZOOM presentation. Central Time Zone-Standard Time (NB: Regular date revised due to Remembrance Day) Dr. Edward Cruz, RN, PhD, CCN, FCAN, Associate Professor & Associate Dean Undergraduate Programs, College of Nursing, University of Windsor, Windsor, ON; Co-author: Kristoffer Romero, CPsych, PhD, Assistant Professor, Department of Psychology, University of Windsor. Filipino Nurses' Employment Experiences in Ontario, Canada. Zoom Link: https://ca01web.zoom.us/j/63017221594?pwd=87NpThWSRhyGBvMeNM59dFVttKIYgw.1 Abstract: This presentation is based on the findings of our mixed-methods study that compared employment experiences of Philippine-educated nurses (PENs) and Canadian-educated Filipino nurses in Ontario. Using a provincial survey (n=510) and interviews (n=50), researchers found that PENs were significantly more likely to work in lower-tier positions and experience workplace microaggressions. Both groups faced discrimination and workplace transition challenges, but Canadian-educated Filipino nurses had better career advancement opportunities and access to support networks. The findings highlight that while both groups encounter barriers, PENs face additional systemic challenges affecting their career progression, necessitating targeted interventions like mentorship programs and increased Filipino representation in leadership roles. Please note we pause in December to celebrate the season and will resume on Tuesday January 13th, 2026. UPCOMING PRESENTATIONS January 13, 2026 12:00 - 1:00 pm, Central Time Zone.

Donation to Agape Table
by Nursing Students' Association 17 Oct '25

17 Oct '25

Dear Nursing Students, We are Year 4 nursing students currently completing our community clinical at Agape Table in the Spence neighborhood. Agape Table is a not-for-profit charity dedicated to reducing food insecurity and supporting marginalized individuals and families through its free bagged lunch and food bank programs. According to the 2021 Census, 36.6% of residents in the Spence neighborhood live on a low income, compared to the Winnipeg average of 11.5%. Since the pandemic, the need for food assistance has increased significantly, and Agape Table now serves approximately 900 meals each weekday (0700–1100) to community members in need. As winter approaches, many guests who socialize outdoors after receiving their meals face additional challenges in the cold. To help meet their needs, we are organizing a Winter and Hygiene Essentials Donation to support them with dignity and compassion. We are collecting the following items: winter jackets, boots, toques, mitts, socks, duvets, blankets, body wash, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, menstrual care products, and hair brushes. The donation drive will run from October 9th - 31st with two donation bins (one for winter essentials and one for hygiene essentials) located outside the NSA office on the main floor of Helen Glass. If you have any questions, please contact Felix at nnejif(a)myumanitoba.ca Thank you for your generosity and support. Let’s spread love and help warm up our community this winter. Special thanks to: Nursing Student Association, Christa Degagne RN, BN, MEd, Shannon Guerreiro RN, MN, and Laurie Romanica RN, BN. DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL Warm regards, Felix Nneji Andrea Chang Eddy Wang Mandeep Sidhu Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>
