Yes, I introduced a female to cardinals and they started the moment she went into the tank. A way to reduce the risks of this problem is to try adding the tetras last to the tank, but usually once they get comfortable to their surroundings the fin nipping will begin again. A fish that hides all the time, (particularly a fish that isn't known to pro-actively hide away) is not a happy fish.
