By utilising a feminist and social constructionist lens, the results shift attention away from women's individual competence toward the social, structural and political conditions through which gender inequality is reproduced. Gendered privilege is not enacted through explicit exclusion, but rather through regulation of women's behaviour and voice, reinforcing men's advantage.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Implications for the Profession<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The results support the need for transparent promotion processes, targeted education on unconscious bias and appearance\u2010based discrimination, and leadership accountability to advance gender equity in nursing. Addressing gender essentialist beliefs is also critical to fostering more inclusive workforce cultures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Impact<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study addresses the persistent issue of workplace gender discrimination for women registered nurses. Findings show that organisational responses should move beyond individual\u2010focused approaches and instead prioritise cultural change within the profession and broader society.
