"Nurse Jackie" is a new Showtime, 'dark comedy' TV series, starring Emmy, Golden Globe Award-winning actress Edie "The Sopranos" Falco as 'Jackie Peyton', a 'flawed' emergency room nurse working in a New York City hospital.
For Jackie "...every day is a high wire act of juggling patients, doctors, fellow nurses and her own indiscretions..."
The series was created by Liz Brixius, Linda Wallem and Evan Dunsky. Brixius and Wallem also executive produce with Caryn Mandabach.
"Doctors are absolutely unable to do what they have to do without nurses," said Brixius.
"We want to tell those stories..."
