"...For Jackie, every day is a high wire act of juggling patients, doctors, fellow nurses and her own indiscretions..."
Created by Liz Brixius, Evan Dunsky and Linda Wallem, "Nurse Jackie" co-stars Eve Best, Merritt Wever, Haaz Sleiman, Paul Schulze, Dominic Fumusa, Anna Deavere Smith and Peter Facinelli.
"Nurse Jackie" is described by Showtime as a "strong-willed, iconoclastic New York City nurse juggling the frenzied grind of an urban hospital and an equally challenging personal life," noting that the character has "an occasional weakness for 'Vicodin' and 'Adderall' to get her through the days."
