?Language Discrimination?
Discrimination nowadays is very rampant especially for Filipino Nurses in the Hospital
Setting. We Filipinos have different languages that we speak; we have Ilocano, Tagalog, Visayan
and etc. Those dialects prove that we Filipinos are intelligent in a way that we are raised and
taught of different languages in the Philippines. The struggle for identity and the fight against
discrimination has always lodged in the Filipino spirit from the time we Filipinos arrived in
United States. According to the Long Angeles times a group of Filipino Nurses are being
discriminated through their accents and speaking Ilocano and Tagalog during their break.
Filipino Nurses should be tolerated to speak their native language for the Filipino patients in
order to provide a better care and explain their sicknesses and diseases and communicate well
with them.
One great example of this situation is the recently Filipino Nurses Win Language
Discrimination Settlement case. In this article, it says that there are 69 immigrants who had
suffered a constant harassment, humiliation and discrimination. In my opinion, Filipino Nurses
should be tolerated to speak in their own language especially to those patients or other
employees in the Nursing facility who can?t understand English as there second language. This
could help the patient understand more his/her condition in the way that the nurse could explain

to the patient what is his/her condition. Although I know that in any nursing facility they have a
certain rule that they need to follow and one of them is speaking English in the facility which I
do disagree.
Another factor could support my thesis is by explaining the Filipino Nurses to the
patients their case regarding their situation through their sickness. This could be a big help to the
patient because they may understand more about their situation on how they could improve their
health. One great example when I volunteered at Hale Makua for 2 years and I observed that in
every facility they speak English wherein I understand because I know they have a policy that
?Speak English Only? but one day, I encountered a Filipino patient and she is 86 years old she is
explaining what she wanted to the LPN or licensed practical nurse and the nurse couldn?t
understand because the patient is talking Filipino. After the nurse left, I went to the patient room
and asked her what she need and she said ?Could you put some cream on my back because it?s
itchy?? That simple task that the resident may ask could be a simple help to the patient because
you and the patient itself have the same language.
Right after I helped that patient my mind
thinks back and said to myself? Why do they prohibit speaking any language in the facility? A lot
of susceptible thoughts came in my mind. They may think that we are talking bad things to the
other nurses or gossiping whenever we may have time, but this is not the reason why do I
disagree to the ?Speak English Only Policy?. I do not think that anyone is prejudice or racist for
complaining about not being able to understand fellow co-workers when they speak a different
language than English. We are after all discussing a situation that is happening in the U.S. That
said, I can also understand that in a highly stressful situation — a code (for instance), a person
may think and react quickly and may speak in his/her native tongue — without considering the
actual environment and the people around him/her.
