Nurse Jackie stars Emmy® and Golden Globe® award winner Edie Falco (The Sopranos) as the title character Jackie Peyton, a strong-willed and brilliant -- but very flawed -- emergency room nurse working in the complicated and frenzied environment of a New York City hospital. A lapsed Catholic with a weakness for painkillers to get her through the days, Jackie keeps the hospital balanced with her unique bedside manner and own brand of medical justice. Every day is a high-wire act of juggling patients, doctors and fellow nurses along with her indiscretions.
Nurse Jackie also stars Eve Best (The King’s Speech), Peter Facinelli (The Twilight Saga), Merritt Wever (Greenberg), Paul Schulze (Law & Order), Dominic Fumusa (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit), Anna Deavere Smith (The West Wing), Stephen Wallem and Arjun Gupta.
