‘The Best, Hands Down’: This Viral Thread Shows Just How Much the World Values Filipino Nurses
Jan 25, 2022 • Meryl Medel
They have only boundless love for their family
And they dont want to risk visiting their family, not even once. It’s a disgrace

They’ve got ‘magic’
Ditto. One NICU Sr I worked with used to talk about the “Filipino magic”, which was horrendously non-PC but by God, what those nurses didn’t know about NICU wasn’t worth knowing. Vent issue? Fixed it. Poorly baby? Fixed ’em. Weird drug calculations? All over it, mate.

100% this.
Their ability to predict needs is incredible. The care, dedication and love is exemplary. And their technical/scientific knowledge is second to none.— SussexSage 💙 (@SageSussex) January 18, 2022
The best, hands down.
I do operating lists and clinics on Saturdays with a team almost entirely consisting of Filipino nurses and they’ve got what I need before I know I need it.
🥰🙏🏾

It’s in the culture
A culture of respect, grace and humility, we could learn a lot!!

💯 this.
They are a universal delight, amazingly talented yet super humble and so friendly and warm. ♥️— Sheherzad Mirza (@Medical_mummy) January 18, 2022
But it’s also in their knowledge
Maybe so but their technical and scientific knowledge was ultra impressive too
— SussexSage 💙 (@SageSussex) January 18, 2022
Amen. I totally agree.
They also beat almost everyone else at venous access.

It’s also incredibly competitive entry, with mandatory return of service requirements because of overseas work opportunities. Heard of a woman who topped the region(?) in the equiv of CPA exams, retrained as a nurse for the $

They get things done with a smile
Tbh and it’s their “get it done with a smile” attitude that always gets me. As a patient they simply can’t do enough for you. Plus if you’re nice they’ll sneak you food in 😍

Plus, they’re the best cooks
If you mention to us that you know, or you have a friend who’s Filipino, you’ll be automatically invited to a cookout 🤣

Absolutely. And so generous too. The buffets of Filipino food they used to make for work occasions – amazing

They should be represented onscreen!
That’s one think that always bothered me in hospital dramas. They never represent the Filipino’s.

They’re simply the best
So fantastically well trained. They’re the bedrock of every hospital and no mistake ❤❤❤

Not only here, I have worked in 3 continents, been treated in 3 continents. Everywhere they are the best!
— AZ Jafferi (@AZJafferi) January 18, 2022
And all over the world too. I’ve never had anything but praise for Filipino nurses, absolute professionals and some of the finest frontline heroes.
