Christine Chapel was a nurse aboard the USS Enterprise during its maiden voyage. She assisted Dr. Leonard McCoy in the medical bay in 2258.

Chapel was on staff in the medical bay when James T. Kirk, whom McCoy had smuggled aboard, began to experience a severe reaction to the Melvaran mud flea vaccine he had been injected with. As Kirk's hands began to swell, McCoy called for Chapel to prepare the necessary medication to cure the affliction. (Star Trek)

Although not seen directly on screen in the film, Chapel's presence on the Enterprise is established in dialogue. McCoy calls for "Nurse Chapel" just after Kirk's hands swell up from the vaccine. At the end of the film, as Kirk, Spock, and Pike beam back from the Narada, a blond-haired nurse with a 1960s-style beehive hairdo is seen administering to Pike. Some have speculated that this was indeed Nurse Chapel.
