Tyler Christian

Tyler Christian is a nurse at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital and has worked there for more than six years, even while it was still Seattle Grace Hospital.

Interns' First Shift
During Izzie's first shift, she had a patient who needed a central line, but she didn't know how to do one. She went to Tyler, who informed her that she needed to wake Bailey to help her do it.

Later, when Katie Bryce was having a seizure and Meredith showed up, he told Meredith she needed to calm down and decide what to do next. ("A Hard Day's Night")

Liz Fallon's Code
Tyler was among the group that responded when Cristina called a code for Liz Fallon. He took her chart and saw that she was DNR and demanded that Cristina stop resuscitation. ("No Man's Land")

Mrs. Patterson
Tyler was the nurse assigned to Mrs. Patterson. When Mrs. Patterson needed a second surgery, he was sent to call for the OR. ("Shake Your Groove Thing")

Jimmy Harper
He was part of the team that responded when Jimmy Harper coded. He helped get Izzie prepped to crack Mr. Harper's chest. ("If Tomorrow Never Comes")

Cristina Yang's Hospitalization
When Cristina was hospitalized, Tyler caught her looking through patient charts. He read her own chart, which said she was supposed to be on bed rest and could only get out of bed to move to a chair. ("Deny, Deny, Deny")

Ellis Grey
Ellis was among his patients. She escaped twice while George was supposed to be watching her, which amused Tyler. ("Deny, Deny, Deny")

Friendships
Tyler has made friends with many of the hospital's surgeons while they were still interns, particularly Meredith Grey, Cristina Yang, and Lexie Grey.

Cristina paid him to guard the door while she stripped for Burke in a hospital room but he had to leave because a patient was coding and Burke's parents entered the room. Tyler later blackmailed Cristina into giving him an electrical appliance by lying to Burke's mother, Jane Burke, and telling her that Cristina was in surgery.

Career
He worked as a surgical nurse for at least four years at Seattle Grace and helped out the interns a lot. He survived the merger and thereby became part of the staff of Seattle Grace Mercy West. Currently employed at Grey Sloan Memorial, he runs the CCU.
