Olivia Jankovic, née Harper, was a nurse at Seattle Grace until she was fired prior to the merger with Mercy West Medical Center.
==History==
===Intern Mixer===
Olivia attended the mixer for the new interns. At the mixer, she met Alex and the two of them left together. ("Time Has Come Today")
===Digby Owens===
Olivia worked on the case of Digby Owens. She was the nurse instructed to move him to ICU after his infected calf tattoo was revealed. ("The Self-Destruct Button")
===Sleeping with Alex===
When George asked her out, she had been having a casual thing with Alex Karev. She broke it off, but not before she contracted syphilis, which she then passed on to George. ("Who's Zoomin' Who?")
===Working with George===
Olivia called George into a patient's room to intubate her, not knowing that George had failed an intubation earlier that day. Despite his wariness, George stepped in and did the intubation successfully, impressing Olivia. George then asked her out on a date. ("Save Me")
===Syphilis Outbreak===
Olivia was one of the nurses who contracted syphilis during the outbreak. She got it from Alex and passed it on to George. ("Who's Zoomin' Who?")
===Joe's Get-Well Card===
Olivia signed the get-well card for Joe after he was hospitalized due to his aneurysm. She wrote that they were rooting for him and couldn't wait to see him back at the bar. ("Notes from the Nurses' Station")
===Awkwardness with George===
After giving him syphilis, George had to work with Olivia attempting to resuscitate a patient he didn't believe could be saved. Things between them were awkward as they worked together. At the end of the day, he said that he just didn't like her enough, that he liked Meredith so much that he wouldn't care if she gave him Ebola. ("Enough is Enough")
===Thanksgiving===
On Thanksgiving, Olivia presented the case of Holden McKee, informing the doctors that he needed to be examined before he could be sent back to his nursing home. ("Thanks for the Memories")
===Robert Martin===
When Robert Martin was in the hospital, Olivia was one of his nurses. She was ordered to give him hypertonic saline to bring his sodium level up, but Alex gave her the wrong order, so she gave him too much, dehydrating Robert's brain. She later revealed this when Derek came to check on him as he had a seizure. ("Much too Much")
===Cheating with Alex===
After treating Robert Martin together, Olivia found Alex in an on-call room. They talked about when they had been sleeping together before and Olivia assured him that the sex was good. They then had sex again, even though he was seeing Izzie. ("Much too Much")
===Carl Murphy===
Olivia was one of Carl's nurses. She tried to attach the leeches to start biological therapy, but she was nervous, so the leech wouldn't attach. ("Owner of a Lonely Heart")
===Nurses' Strike===
Olivia was one of the nurses who went on strike. When George was reluctant to cross the picket line, Olivia came and said that he could cross and they wouldn't throw donuts. Because of his parents' union ties, he refused and ultimately ended up joining the picket line. Olivia, Tyler, and Debbie then asked George to cross the line and go in to check on their patients. ("Break on Through")
===Tucker's Car Accident===
When Tucker Jones was in a car accident, Olivia informed the doctors of the incoming rig before knowing who the patient was. ("It's the End of the World")
===Keith Polace===
She was one of the nurses who attended to Keith Polace. When his fiancée left him, she said that if the fiancée couldn't love him the way he loved her, it was better that she left. ("What Have I Done to Deserve This?")
===Denny Duquette===
After Izzie cut his LVAD wire, Bailey told Olivia to take over pumping Denny's heart so that Izzie could leave with her. Izzie refused to let her take over, so Bailey instructed her to stay with Izzie and help her if she'd allow it. Bailey eventually got Izzie to hand it over to Olivia. ("Deterioration of the Fight or Flight Response")
When Denny died, Olivia went to get the other interns because Izzie had crawled into bed with him and wouldn't leave. ("Losing My Religion")
===Flu Season===
Olivia was in the ER helping cover flu patients. When a premature infant that was found in a trashcan was brought in, Alex immediately took him up to the NICU before admitting him, not wanting him exposed to influenza. Olivia fruitlessly objected. She later informed Addison when four girls arrived, each of whom was possibly the mother of the baby. ("Time Has Come Today")
===Preston Burke===
When Burke was in the hospital, Olivia was one of his nurses. Cristina bribed her to ask Burke if he'd had any tremors, but he figured out what she was doing and wouldn't tell her. ("Six Days, Part 1")
===Clinic Opening===
On the day the clinic opened, Olivia taught the interns the protocol for the flu vaccine. ("Wishin' and Hopin'")
===Neurotoxin===
When George started to feel ill, he passed Marina Wagner's blood off to Olivia to take to the lab for testing. However, she later ended up in the clinic when the blood turned out to be toxic. ("Wishin' and Hopin'")
===Ellis Grey===
When Ellis became agitated, Olivia gave her lorazepam to calm her down. ("Some Kind of Miracle")
===Nurses United Against Mark Sloan===
Olivia and Jolene informed Mark Sloan that the nurses had created a club to unite against him due to the fact he never called back after he slept with them. ("Haunt You Every Day")
===Hospital Merger===
When the merger was announced, Olivia asked Alex to let her know if he heard anything, because the nurses were likely to be among the first cuts. She ultimately was fired to reduce staff in preparation for the merger. ("I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watchin' Me")
===Milo's Hospitalization===
While back in Seattle visiting her parents, her son, Milo, swallowed a chew toy, which became stuck in his bronchus. She took him to the Grey Sloan Memorial ER, where they located the toy and used bronchoscopy to remove it. While she was at the hospital, she warned Jo about Alex's history. Later on, when Alex successfully treated her son, having gained a newfound respect for him, called him Dr. Karev, but could not help teasing Alex by telling him Jo was too good for him, which Alex confirmed he already knew. ("Bad Reputation")
==Relationships==
===Romantic===
====George O'Malley====
When George O'Malley was going through a dry spell, Cristina Yang encouraged George to ask Olivia out. After sleeping with George, Olivia gave him syphillis, an illness that she had contracted from a previous sexual encounter with Alex.
George soon broke up with Olivia because of a romantic interest in Meredith. After a minor argument, Olivia and George stayed friends.
====Alex Karev====
Olivia and Alex met at the intern mixer and went home together that night. ("Time Has Come Today")
At some point, Alex transmitted syphilis to Olivia, who then passed it on to George. ("Who's Zoomin' Who?")
After Alex began a relationship with Izzie, Izzie caught him cheating on her with Olivia. ("Much too Much")
