<![CDATA[Internationally recruited nurses must transition into healthcare systems that may differ substantially from those in which they were educated and previously employed. This study examined workplace integration and professional adaptation among Filipino migrant nurses employed at Darlington Memorial Hospital in the United Kingdom and explored associations with selected demographic and employment characteristics. A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted among 26 Filipino nurses recruited through purposive sampling. Participants completed a self-developed, expert-validated questionnaire using a four-point Likert-type scale. The present analysis focused on the 10-item workplace environment domain. Descriptive statistics and exploratory Pearson correlation analyses were performed. Participants reported favorable workplace experiences overall (mean = 3.29). Understanding local healthcare practices and protocols and adapting nursing practice to cultural contexts received the highest rating (mean = 3.46). Professional development and access to resources each received a mean of 3.38, while workplace belonging was also rated favorably (mean = 3.35). Participation in team meetings or departmental activities received the lowest rating (mean = 3.12), followed by supportive leadership and clarity of reporting structures (both mean = 3.15). Workplace scores were significantly associated with age (r = .52, p = .007) and length of service (r = .51, p = .007), but not with civil status or clinical department. The findings suggest relatively strong clinical and procedural adaptation alongside opportunities to strengthen organizational participation, communication, and structured support. Comprehensive onboarding, mentorship, leadership support, and sustained professional development may facilitate the workplace integration of internationally recruited nurses.]]>
