Nurse Jackie

Dear all,
Nurse Jackie is a comedy that meets drama. The premise of Nurse Jackie is the following: Nurse Jackie, played by Edie Falco, is obviously a nurse in a hospital in New York City. She is hooked on pills (Vicodin) and has a family at home, a husband and two young daughters. She sleeps with a doctor in the hospital in order for him to write her prescriptions to keep up her habit. She has a biting personality, being brutally honest to patients and even hurting those who are disrespectful and undeserving of treatment, yet she does an incredible job as a nurse. She really knows what she's doing, she really cares about her job, and she puts in way too much time to give back to humanity. It's a series that is actually worth watching. In Argentina, it can be watched on STUDIO UNIVERSAL in English with subtitles in Spanish.
Today, we bring you an activity based on the review that Entertainment Weekly's Dalton Ross filed for NY1.
