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.
