Netflix’s new series, “The Nurse,” delves into the chilling true story of a nurse in Nykøbing Falster who attempted to murder her patients. The series explores the unsettling events that unfolded at the hospital and the subsequent investigation.

Josephine Park delivers a compelling performance as the nurse, portraying her character’s kindness with an increasingly menacing undertone. Park’s portrayal captures the nurse’s complex personality, a seemingly strong and unconventional figure who manipulates her environment with calculated precision.

The series effectively highlights the initial skepticism surrounding the events. The narrative emphasizes how Pernille, a dedicated and ambitious nurse, was the first to recognize the disturbing pattern of patient deaths. The series suggests a societal tendency to attribute deaths to lifestyle factors such as drinking, smoking, and poor diet, rather than suspecting foul play within the hospital. Furthermore, the narrative underscores the lack of oversight in medication management, enabling the nurse to illegally remove drugs from the storage.
