Nurse Jackie

Never go down easy.

Created by Linda Wallem, Liz Brixius, Evan Dunsky

On Showtime

A darkly comedic character study of a brilliant, self-destructive nurse whose professional competence masks a life unraveling under addiction and chronic pain.

Every day is a matter of life and death in a hectic New York City hospital, but for Nurse Jackie that's the easiest part. Between chronic back pain that won't quit, and a personal life on the constant edge of collapse, it's going to take a white lie here, a bent rule there, and a handful of secret strategies to relieve the pain, and stay one step ahead of total disaster.
