The Nurse cast is relatively small but it features some great talent, and they all play key figures in the case that shocked Denmark.
Based on a true crime book, The Nurse dramatizes the career of respected nurse Christina Aistrup Hansen, who was found guilty of the murder of three patients and attempted manslaughter while she worked at Nykøbing Falster Hospital.
