The movie stars Diana Hardcastle as Amy Loughren and Charles Cullen as Charlie. Unfortunately, a series of momentous events befall Charlie and put him on the radar of law enforcement.

The Good Nurse: Is Parkfield Memorial Hospital a real place?

Parkfield Memorial Hospital does not exist in New Jersey. The book was not made for entertainment purposes but rather for education. The storyline is meant to be gripping and believable, but all the locations are imaginary.

Charles began working at Somerset Medical Center in September 2002, and over the course of four years, he would murdered many patients there. He found work in their critical care unit, where he met Amy, his future best friend who has since passed away.

Charles killed 29 patients in 2003 and was finally caught by Amy. He was convicted of 29 murders and sentenced to 11 consecutive life terms. But he’s thought to have killed 400 patients by many experts, causing him to serve 18 consecutive life sentences. As of October 26th, 2018, he currently serves 18 consecutive life sentences at New Jersey State Prison, Trenton, New Jersey.

Check out The Good Nurse, streaming now only on Netflix.
