Nurses of DL: are your Filipino coworkers mean and awful?

The reason I ask is because my partner is a Filipino nurse and he always says - somewhat jokingly but with some truth behind it - “don’t mess with the Filipino mafia at work because they will come after you and gang up on you.”

I’m not a nurse so I don’t know, but my partner’s sister and all her friends are also nurses and they seem vicious.

Your partner is Filipino yet you feel comfortable shitting on Filipinos? Does he know what a worthless cunt you are?

No, but there's never more than two at a time on my unit at any given time because of the staff demographics.

However, I've been told by other rns that if there is a group of them on a unit, they make life unbearable for the non-Filipinos, so your partner is telling the truth. I've been told this by White, black, Russian, and Carribean nurses.

The Filipino Mafia was the A plot on a recent episode of the hospital sitcom St. Denis on NBC/Peacock. So it's a thing.

Nurses are all crazy.

In my experience, nurses are very bossy and Filipinos are very bossy. So a Filipino nurse is going to be extremely bossy!
