We're just a couple weeks away from the series premiere of Nurse Jackie.

This Showtime sitcom stars Edie Falco as Jackie Peyton, an ER nurse in New York City. She works hard every day to level the playing field in the world of medical care, but it isn't easy. And Jackie can't do it alone.

She needs a daily dose of pain prescription pills to get through each shift.

Watch the official preview for Nurse Jackie below:
