The New Nurses
The series follows the lives of the young nursing students and staff at Fredenslund Hospital, where love, intrigue, and the struggle between life and death shape everyday life. In the 1950s Denmark, a groundbreaking initiative welcomes its first male nursing students, making history as they defy traditional expectations and overcome prejudice. Behind every hospital bed lies a story that challenges and touches those providing care. As students and staff navigate professional pressures and personal dilemmas, friendships and romances blossom, and shared experiences strengthen their bonds as they pursue their dreams.
THE NEW NURSES is inspired by a groundbreaking experiment that admitted men into nursing schools for the first time, challenging traditional gender roles in response to a severe national nursing shortage. It has proven a massive audience hit, being the most streamed series with local broadcaster TV 2 Charlie in history. Further, the series has been a great success with international platforms and broadcasters.
