Eclipsed by the mass migration of Filipino nurses and its economic impact at the turn of the mid-20th century, few studies have explored these nurses’ tenure in the United States since their arrival in 1911. The mobility of Filipino nurses to the US metropole, following the importation of American nursing, portrays entangled social relationships between healthcare, race, colonialism, and capitalism. Using historical and digital methods, this research project explores colonial nursing across the Philippines and US and the agency of Filipino nurses who migrated and eventually settled in Seattle, Washington creating a site of counterhegemony. In particular, it aims to delineate upon the gendered and sexualized racialization of Filipino nurses amidst American nursing and broader US society. The following discourse helps illuminate present-day issues amidst Asian America, the globalization of nursing, and the Filipino
