About The Nurse

Synopsis

One early morning in March 2015, the Danish police received a call from a nurse at Nyk bing Falster Hospital. She suspects her close colleague of deliberately killing patients and fears that it has just happened again. Soon a murder case unfolds like never seen before in Danish legal history. Several co-workers are now telling the police that they also suspect the nurse has poisoned patients, and some even tell that they have been walking around with this suspicion for several years. But why hasnt anyone responded? And where is the evidence? The Nurse is based on the true story of the Danish nurse, Christina Aistrup Hansen, who was sentenced to life in 2016 for four counts of attempted murder. The Nurse is based on the book of the same name written by Kristian Corfixen.
