Hello Nursing Students, Happy New Year! We hope you’re doing well and had a restful and restorative Winter Break. My name is Ashley Woods, and I am one of the CanU Representatives for the Nursing Students Association (NSA). We are currently seeking volunteers to support our upcoming CanU Nursing Event on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, from 18:00–19:30 in the Helen Glass Skills Lab at the College of Nursing. We will be teaching high school students Grades 11-12 for this event. What is CanU? CanU is a Winnipeg-based charitable mentorship program for youth in Grades 5–12, run here at the University of Manitoba. Each week, 500+ youth from 65+ Winnipeg schools attend CanU programming, supported by 800+ volunteers across the city. CanU Nursing brings this mission into healthcare outreach by engaging youth in interactive clinical learning and inspiring future health leaders. Why Volunteer with CanU Nursing? Volunteering is a meaningful way to contribute to your community, connect with fellow nursing students, and strengthen your confidence in teaching and clinical skills. As a CanU Nursing volunteer, you will: * Guide youth through hands-on clinical scenarios and foundational nursing skills * Collaborate with UM nursing students and NSA members * Receive co-curricular credit from the University of Manitoba * Gain valuable experience working with youth — a strong asset for your resume * Have your hours recorded toward volunteer experience records * Enjoy flexible evening scheduling that avoids exam periods, reading week, and holidays Event & Orientation Details * Events typically run 50 min – 1 hr 15 min * Volunteers stay 30 minutes after to support clean-up * You are not obligated to attend all events — only those that fit your availability * A virtual Teams orientation (~1 hour) will be held a few days before the event * If you sign up, we rely on your attendance. If you can no longer attend, please notify us 24 hours in advance via email or Telegram Current Event Focus (February 24) Demonstrations and guided practice will include: * IV skills and medication processes * IV pump demonstration (not for youth to operate) * CVAD blood draw demonstration using the CVAD model * Youth-safe skill guidance in the skills lab setting Join Our Telegram Volunteer Group Our Telegram chat will be the primary method of communication for future events and volunteer coordination: Telegram Group: https://t.me/+PfpiYZo6qsA0NTkx If you have trouble accessing the link, please let us know.

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.
