Nurse Jackie Showtime

Edie Falco and the creative team behind Nurse Jackie have brought something smart and refreshing to television that hasn't been seen before: what it really means to be a nurse in modern America. Nurse Jackie is smart, tough, no non-sense, yet at times vulnerable and deeply troubled but above all, always looking out for her patients. I find her very flawed character highly interesting to watch as she navigates some very tricky situations. As a nurse myself, I find an honesty in the seemingly daring storywriting. It only seems daring to those who are outside the medical profession because they have no idea what we have to deal with on a daily basis, especially if you're an ER nurse in large city! As for the naysayers who think it will bring down our profession, I say our profession is already suffering from an image of old haggard mean hens pecking away at what is really a dynamic career choice. I hate when people say how noble nurses are, or how we're angels. That's ridiculous. We're humans. We do the best we can for our patients and it's not always the right thing, but it's the best thing. And Nurse Jackie has the balls to say it.

This show has so much heart. Look forward to it every week, best thing on television, hands down. The entire cast is fabulous, Edie Falco is brilliant.

I love the show and can't wait until mondays come to watch it.yeah to nurse Jackie
