The Good Nurse / int_1f6983f7	type	Ambiguous Situation
The Good Nurse / int_1f6983f7	comment	Ambiguous Situation: Charlie claims that his ex-wife is keeping from seeing his children out of spite and falsely accusing him of awful things like killing her dog. The film never clarifies whether or not this is true, but the fact that he turns out to be a serial killer lends credence to the idea that Charlie wasn't being honest.

The Good Nurse / int_7301ae04	comment	Serial Killer: Charlie is a nurse who stealthily kills several patients at several hospitals by injecting them with inappropriate medications. He was able to get away with it for a long time because the hospitals were more interested in protecting their reputations than prosecuting him.

The Good Nurse / int_9f970427	type	Secret-Keeper
The Good Nurse / int_9f970427	comment	Secret-Keeper: Exploited. Amy has been hiding her cardiomyopathy from her employers at the hospital for fear of dismissal, and wants to keep working so she will be eligible for health insurance that will pay for the heart transplant she needs. She discloses this to Charlie, who promises to keep this secret — which in turn helps Amy trust him. As a result, she's initially unwilling to believe that he might be a killer because of the close bond she thinks they have, and then later she worries that he might disclose it in retaliation.

The Good Nurse / int_aa96059e	comment	Disabled in the Adaptation: While the real Amy kept her cardiomyopathy a secret, it wasn't because it was so advanced that she needed a heart transplant like in the film. In reality, it was manageable with a pacemaker and medication, and she hid it so she wouldn't be fired and lose the good pay.
