Award Recipient

Jacob Geronimo

RBC Diversity in Nursing Award

I am Jacob T. Geronimo, and I arrived here in Canada in June 2011.  I have a Bachelor of Nursing Science degree and obtained my RN status in the Philippines.  I realized that my credentials are only eligible for LPN exam here in Canada.  It never made me give up, I saved money by working as a food server in Dairy Queen for three months and also worked as a Continuing Care Assistant for three months just to pay for my requirements for LPN and to also sustain myself.  Such obstacles never stopped me from pursuing my dream to be a registered nurse in Canada.  Granted this great opportunity of an RBC Diversity in Nursing award, I guarantee that my knowledge and skills will make a difference not only in each of my client’s lives but also to the pride of the profession itself.

Giving Tuesday has become a global movement for giving and marks the beginning of the giving season for your favourite causes. Thank you for joining Canadian Nurses Foundation today as we celebrate our 10th annual campaign. Double your gift today!

We know that helping nurses and nursing students is a team effort. More qualified nurses, more nurse-led research, more nurses and nursing students supported with mentoring and proactive mental health programs and training – that’s the outcome of your support. This leads to a stronger, more robust healthcare system for Canada.

Your support today, on Giving Tuesday, empowers us to set ambitious goals, strengthen our resources, and show that our collective generosity fuels the next generation of nurses. Let’s make this year’s Giving Tuesday our most impactful yet, proving that our collective kindness can create lasting change.
