The 62-year-old admitted to killing 29 people from 1988 to 2003. Cullen, who had a history of mental illness, worked in nine hospitals and one nursing home. It is speculated that he may have murdered more than 300 patients while working as a nurse in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Cullen was the subject of a scripted drama premiered by Netflix on Oct. 26 titled “The Good Nurse,” which was based on the bestselling 2013 book by Charles Graeber.
It starred Eddie Redmayne as Cullen and Jessica Chastain as Loughren.
Loughren was a single mother of two when she started working as a nurse in the intensive care unit at New Jersey’s Somerset Medical Center sometime around 2000. She also worked as a trauma and ER nurse. It was there where she met and befriended Cullen as they worked together.
“Charlie was funny,” she recalled. “He was very sarcastic. He was always very self-deprecating. He would turn everything back on himself and make a joke about it.
He was also brilliant and knew more about medications than any pharmacist I had ever met. He really understood policies and procedures. I trusted him more than any other nurse that I worked with.”
“Of course, all nurses are well-versed in medications,” she continued. “However, even after 35 years of being a nurse, I still look up medications… We had our little physician’s desk reference that talked about all the side effects and adverse reactions to medications.
And looking up medications is a safety procedure we have. But Charlie always seemed to know them all right off the top of his head.”
