Review of The Nurse

The Nurse (2023)
4/10
Book is much better than the show
7 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
As others have already mentioned, its based on true story and book by Kristian Corfixen and is a psychological thriller that revolves around Christina, a nurse who becomes entangled in a web of secrets and deception.

Christina gets caught when her colleagues become suspicious of her unusual behavior and as their suspicions grow they decide to investigate further and eventually catch her.

The show leans more towards entertainment rather than accurately representing facts and events. If you're keen on getting the real facts I highly recommend reading the book. The book provides a comprehensive and detailed account of everything making it a far more informative choice compared to the "made up" true story show.

I'll provide a summary below to give you a taste of its depth and encourage you to explore it further-

Motivation: Christina's motive for stealing medication and altering records stems from personal struggles. She faces financial difficulties and mounting debts which push her to make unethical choices to ease her financial burden.

The Web of Deception: As Christina continues her deceitful actions she becomes increasingly skilled at covering her tracks. She not only steals medication but also fabricates patient histories to justify her actions. This makes it difficult for her colleagues to initially catch on.

Suspicion Grows: Despite her efforts to maintain a facade of normalcy her colleagues start noticing unusual patterns. They become suspicious when patients conditions don't match her records and medications seem to go missing when she's on duty.

The Discovery: The turning point in the story comes when one of her coworkers stumbles upon concrete evidence like discovering hidden stashes of stolen medication or finding irrefutable proof of falsified records and a hidden folder on the hospital's computer system

Confrontation: Armed with this evidence the colleagues confront her and deception is unveile and she faces the consequences of her actions.
