A lapsed Catholic with an occasional weakness for Vicodin and Adderall to get her through the days, Jackie keeps the hospital balanced with her own kind of justice. Every day is a high wire act of juggling patients, doctors, fellow nurses and her own indiscretions."

The first season saw guest appearances by Blythe Danner, Judith Ivey, Swoosie Kurtz and Elizabeth Marvel, among others. Scott Ellis (Curtains) directed a couple episodes.

Falco has appeared on Broadway in Frankie & Johnnie in the Clair de Lune, 'night, Mother and Side Man.
