As if that is not enough, Nurse Jackie goes around sleeping with every type of man she pleases and does not see this as a big deal for her as a married woman. Furthermore, she does not care about her reputation and integrity at the workplace since she continues to create scenes each and every moment. Despite her dramatic life, some people get attracted to her to a point of falling in love with her. For instance, Zoey, a medical student adores Jackie and, in fact, worships the ground that she steps on. From the series, we can see how the medical student is obsessed with Nurse Jackie and wishes to have an opportunity to show her how he truly feels.

Nevertheless, there is Cooper Fitch, a narcissistic doctor who has a mad crush on her as well. Cooper just like Zoey, yearns to have Jackie in his arms because he thinks she is cool and an adventurous woman to be with. Most importantly, Nurse Jackie is brought out in two characters; one is that she is empathic, and the other is that hurting those close to her. In this case, she sleeps with the hospital pharmacist and whenever she is high on painkillers nothing matters to her other than her feelings and desire.

Nurse Jackie also flushed another patient’s ear in the toilet for stabbing a woman. From this and much more drama from Nurse Jackie, the series portrays her as a woman who is unorthodox and does not care about what others think. The irony is portrayed in her in that as much as she is a nurse who takes care of people; she lives a careless life of drug abuse. Each time she feels like doing something funny painkillers come to mind. Therefore, she abuses drugs yet she is a nurse. Nurse Jackie has a friend doctor- Eleanor O’Hara, who knows her immoral deeds but refuses to judge her. Instead, O’Hara accepts her and considers her as one of her best friends.

Subsequently, from this drama-comedy series, the one thing that stood out and which interested me is the theme of morality and responsibility. It should be noted that these two components have been clearly brought out in the show, and there is a lesson to learn from the same. With regards to morality, Nurse Jackie is portrayed as a loose woman who does not uphold the virtue of faithfulness. This is because she is practically married to a wonderful man for a husband but sadly enough she cheats every now and again. Jackie greatly lusts for the hospital pharmacist whom she sleeps with countless times. At this point, she fails on morality since any woman regardless of the career or title ought to be faithful and respectful to the husband. This is one area that Nurse Jackie fails as her immoral character is clearly brought out. What struck me most from her immorality is how she manages to be a good nurse while at work and cannot transfer the same in her private life.

On the other hand, responsibility was another element that struck me in this series. In her dramatic nature, Nurse Jackie was able to stand out for women. In general, women are known to be quite marginalized and taken advantage with men who are considered to be more superior. However, in this series, Jackie appears to be the women who fearlessly stood out to protect the disadvantaged. This was the case when she decided to deal ruthlessly with a male patient that had stabbed a woman in the hospital. However, one thing that also stood out about Jackie is that she did not think about the impact of her actions even if the intention was for a good course.

It should be noted that Jackie’s action to tear off the male patient’s ear created a significant notion about the cultural implications in the society. In most societies, it should be gathered that women are the most abused, discriminated against, and looked down upon. Therefore, no one helps them. From this instance, it was clear that in order to fight for those oppressed in society; radical measures need to be implanted for an appropriate outcome to be arrived at. It also indicated that even those who are oppressed in society should step up and protect their rights. Nurse Jackie is a woman who refused to see further injustice committed to her fellow human. Moreover, the incidence was a message to all and sundry that despite the negativities one could be facing, the best thing to do is not be a coward when you feel that one’s rights are being violated. However, the moralities of her actions were questionable because there was something she could still do apart from assaulting the male doctor. Therefore, the moral lesson from this series is that one’s behavior should not hinder them from standing for justice and what is right.

In conclusion, it can be said that morality and responsibility are two important elements in life. From this drama-comedy series, the one thing that stood out and which interested me is the theme of morality and responsibility. It should be noted that these two components have been clearly brought out in the show, and there is a lesson to learn from the same. Additionally, Nurse Jackie is portrayed as a loose woman who does not uphold the virtue of faithfulness. Therefore, one thing that the audiences can learn from this series is that all human virtues should be safeguarded instead of being violated. On the other hand, those diminished in society should also step up for their rights.
