Nurse Jackie Peyton is far from ordinary. As an ER nurse, she navigates the rough waters of a crumbling healthcare system, doing everything she can to provide her patients with the best care possible. Whether she’s lighting into a smug doctor for failing to heed her advice, or stealing a fat money clip from a man who stabbed a prostitute and giving it to a pregnant widow, or forging the organ donor card of a man who just died, Jackie Peyton is compelled to make sense of the chaos and to level the playing field whenever she can. Right or wrong, it’s Jackie’s brand of justice all made that more manageable by a daily diet of prescription pain medication.
Edie Falco is back on cable television tonight and this time instead of taking lives, she is saving them. Showtime’s Nurse Jackie is a different type of medical show than anything on broadcast TV. Jackie is a nurse who knows more than most of the doctors and protects her patients. This show is a great medical dramedy for you to get your fix during the summer until the fall season starts up again.
So check out Nurse Jackie at 10:30p on Showtime. And if you really want the giggles, make sure to also watch Weeds that is back at 10p!
