Nurse Jackie Showtime Series Review

Nurse Jackie Showtime Series Review

I suppose it is a good a time as any to review TV series. The next one on the menu is Nurse Jackie. For those that have not seen it, Nurse Jackie is a show about a nurse who has drug problems. Her job in emergency care is very stressing. Thus, she takes drugs to relax. Unlike most doctors, Nurse Jackie really cares about her patients.

In many episodes, we see how well she treats her patients. I started watching the series around the end of season 4. I think that was the season were she got divorced. In the last one that followed, she tried to treat her drug problems. She almost made it through a whole year without taking a single pill. However, problems forced her to take her chill pill.

In the end, this show takes a down to earth approach to drug addicts. It shows you that not all of them are rotten teenagers. Among the new characters introduced to the show, I liked a lot the police officer and the blonde student. The officer was Jackie's new romantic interest. The blonde girl was an intern.

Overall, the show gives you an insider's perspective on how a hospital is run. From all the jobs available, being a doctor is pretty stressing. It is even worst for those that have hearth. In the end, doctors must create a balance. If they get too attached to their work they get depressed. If they become too unattached, they might neglect their patients like the blonde intern. In any case, Nurse Jackie is a 5 stars worthy showtime series.
