Synopsis
The New Nurses (Sygeplejeskolen, 2018) is a Danish period drama you can watch online on iFILM. Set in early-1950s Denmark, the series centers on a moment when hospitals first started admitting men as trainee nurses — something almost no one in the wards was prepared for.
Erik and Anna are among the first students in the new mixed program. The senior physicians make their doubts plain; patients expect women in white caps; and the school's rulebook was clearly written by people who never imagined sharing the floor with the other sex. Molli Egholm and Jens Jørn Spottag lead the cast through a training environment where professionalism and old-fashioned prejudice are in constant, low-level friction. Directors Ronnie Ezra, Tilde Harkamp and Jannik Johansen keep the tone grounded rather than grand.
The show works best in the small moments — the wrong pronoun, a patient's refusal, a rule applied for the very first time. Stream The New Nurses online on iFILM.
