The show was well received by critics, with specific praise directed towards the acting (particularly that of Falco and Merritt Wever) and the show's portrayal of addiction. Nurse Jackie received 24 Primetime Emmy Award nominations. Falco received six consecutive Emmy nominations for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, winning in 2010. Wever received two Emmy nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, winning in 2013.
In May 2023, it was announced that a sequel series was in development with Falco attached to star and executive produce.
