A brilliant emergency room nurse who's passionate about her work and regularly
challenges doctors on behalf of her patients at a gritty New York City
hospital struggles to manage her personal life as well.
As an ER nurse, she navigates the rough waters of a crumbling healthcare system,
doing everything she can to provide her patients with the best care possible.
Whether she’s lighting into a smug doctor for failing to heed her advice, or stealing
a fat money clip from a man who stabbed a prostitute and giving it to a pregnant widow,
or forging the organ donor card of a man who just died, Jackie Peyton is compelled
to make sense of the chaos and to level the playing field whenever she can.
Right or wrong, it’s Jackie’s brand of justice all made that more manageable
by a daily diet of prescription pain medication.
Her best and most unlikely friendship, however, is with the hilariously droll Brit,
Dr. Eleanor O'Hara. O'Hara's disdain for stupidity is matched only by her respect and
affection for Jackie. They share the same sense of humor, and they are both the kind
of people who are intensely good, but intensely unsentimental.
Throwing a wrench in the machine is the young, seemingly perfect, Dr. Fitch "Coop" Cooper
who typifies the smug, Ivy League doctors who have trolled the hospital halls for decades
on their way to the golf course, leaving the nurses to deal with the repercussions of
their drive-by diagnoses. He has these manic highs and lows.
When he gets nervous he acts out with inappropriate sexual touching.
Eddie Walzer is the hospital pharmacist who showers Jackie with love and the
painkiller Percocet. Eddie is sleeping with Jackie in the pharmacy from time to time.
Fellow nurse, Mohammed "Mo-mo" de la Cruz is Jackie's street-smart confidante with
a biting sense of "gallows" humor. He understands the trenches better than anyone.
He has her back - they have the best sort of friendship...they don't judge one another,
they're always there for each other, and they almost finish each other's sentences.
Watching and learning from Jackie's every move is Zoey Barkow, an impressionable,
exuberant, first-year nursing student whose enthusiasm for nursing has yet to be dampened
by the grind of cranky patients and a flawed healthcare system. Zoey is brand spanking
new and everything is really exciting…getting through the smallest procedure is a very
big deal, but she sees that nursing is difficult and sometimes
thinks she doesn't have the backbone or isn't good enough.
Mrs. Gloria Akalitus is a hospital administrator and Jackie's boss. She brings
some comic relief to the series, as she tries hard to be in charge and gain respect.
But she often ends up doing silly things such as locking herself inside an elevator.
