Danielle Fabian ’11 – Nursing
Profile
Learning About Self South of the Border Danielle is reaching out to help those in need. Her passion for mission work, nursing and Spanish has led her to a wonderful opportunity to serve as a nursing student and translator in Mexico for the third time. She is currently enrolled in a class at Otterbein, Transcultural Nursing: Mexico, which allows her to do more than just fill an elective credit. Danielle said her experiences in Mexico have taught her things she could never learn in a classroom, not just about nursing, but about herself as well. “From this course and experiences in Mexico, I have learned that I am capable of anything,” she said. “As a translator on the trip, I am pulled many ways and asked to step up throughout each day at the clinic. I amaze myself after each patient goes by as to what we were able to do for them and that I made that possible.” Danielle’s service doesn’t just extend to far corners of the world. On campus, she is president of the Otterbein Student Nurse Association and a CardinalCorps Leader. Also, she is currently a Student Nurse Associate at the Richard M. Ross Heart Hospital at the OSU Medical Center. There she takes care of the patients by checking their vitals, drawing blood,

electrocardiograms (EKG) and baths. Danielle said the experiences she is getting from working within a hospital are priceless. “This work is giving me the hands-on in-hospital experience that you cannot get in a lecture or in the laboratory. They can teach us everything there is to know about how to support a patient or family in a tough situation, but to actually experience it and cry with that family is a whole different story,” she said. “I also see things on my unit that we have not learned about yet in class; and, when it does come in class, I am able to share what is being done currently in the hospital and get feedback from other students and my professors.” www.otterbein.edu/nursing
