\"Thaw

Thaw Htoo \u201923N<\/p><\/div>\n

Thaw Htoo \u201923N felt emotional when he visited the Children\u2019s School of Rochester No. 15 early in the fall semester for the community health rotation of his clinical experience.<\/p>\n

By a total coincidence, he\u2019d been placed at his own elementary school. It holds a special place in his heart: Htoo came to the Children\u2019s School<\/a> in 2008 as a refugee, having spent the first 11 years of his life at a camp on the border of Myanmar and Thailand.<\/p>\n

After leaving Myanmar with his parents for an unknown future, Htoo recalled the Children\u2019s School feeling like a safe haven. The school, a longtime partner of the Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ School of Nursing, is known for its robust refugee community and English-language learning support. Its student population represents nearly 40 countries and languages.<\/p>\n

Years later, as an adult, Htoo joined two of his colleagues from the accelerated bachelor\u2019s program<\/a>, to spend a morning delivering a presentation on healthy communication for sixth-graders, leading activities such as \u201cemotion charades\u201d and a question game with a multi-color beach ball focused on listening skills.<\/p>\n

It was a perfect opportunity to give back to the community that once helped him find a sense of belonging in a brand-new country.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really hard, because I remember when I first came to the United States, I did not know any English, but I was able to learn and catch up,\u201d he recalled. \u201cIt was through hard work, dedication, and support that I got through the program.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nursing students have been working with the Children\u2019s School as part of their community health clinical experiences since 2010. The relationship started when Assistant Professor Leann Patel, MSN, RN, and sixth-grade teacher Telesta Rice collaborated to create a program that helps refugee parents understand American health care systems. Eventually, the pair also noticed a need to expand the health education curriculum for students, and Patel pitched a program in which nursing students could fill the gap by teaching kids about topics such as hygiene, nutrition, and disease prevention.<\/p>\n

Spending time in the community, in settings such as schools, senior living facilities, and prisons, helps nursing students see the day-to-day lives of the people they\u2019ll soon be caring for, Patel said. Experiences like that of Htoo and his colleagues at the Children\u2019s School exemplify her vision for community health clinicals brought to life.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]

<\/i><\/span>
My hope was that by doing this, students could work with people directly where they are,\u201d Patel said. \u201cI\u2019ve always hoped that it would be a real-life experience, where students have an opportunity to see how social determinants of health impact patients\u2019 lives.``<\/span><\/h6><\/blockquote>[vc_empty_space height=”25px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_column_text]Visits from the School of Nursing offer a window into what opportunities might be available to Children\u2019s School students in the future, said Principal Jay Piper.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe nursing students are the vision we want for our students,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Piper had vivid memories of Htoo as a student, and held onto a copy of Htoo\u2019s 2011 class photo to show him when he visited.<\/p>\n

A fast learner, Htoo quickly grasped the English language, and wasted no time utilizing his new language skills to help others. He translated for parents and other new students from Myanmar\u2019s Karen community, volunteered to help younger students onto their buses at dismissal, and became one of the school\u2019s \u201cfuss busters\u201d\u2014an older student who helps the younger ones work through problems and conflicts.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was a real leader who would embrace the younger kids and take them under his wing,\u201d Piper said. \u201cLooking back, it makes sense to me that he would take the path of nursing. He\u2019s so nurturing. It\u2019s a great honor to see him follow that path. It was meant to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Htoo would agree\u2014but it took a while for him to realize nursing was his calling.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had always wanted to work in the health field, but I didn’t know what I wanted to do,\u201d said Htoo, who earned his first bachelor\u2019s degree in biology from the Rochester Institute of Technology.<\/p>\n

He worked in labs and pharmacies and spent the past three years working as a hair transplant technician at the nearby Quatela Center for Plastic Surgery. He felt a craving to do more, and remembered wishing he could perform injections like the nurses and physicians he worked with. Htoo began to realize that nursing would offer him a way to make a meaningful impact.<\/p>\n

Htoo discovered interests in nephrology and pediatric nursing during his time at the University Rochester, but his overall goal, however, is to pay it forward.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]

<\/i><\/span>
I wanted to go to nursing school to see what more I could do,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have a lot of refugee communities, and I really want to go back and hopefully work with members of those communities.\u201d<\/span><\/h6><\/blockquote>[vc_empty_space height=”25px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]The City of Rochester has been helping refugees resettle since the 1980s.

Leading by his gentle, humble example, Htoo wants to show what is possible for those who resettle in Rochester.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven though you might not know the language, or you’re introduced to a new culture, once you are adapted to the culture, the beliefs, and everyday living, you’ll be able to learn so many new things,\u201d he said. \u201cIf you put in the hard work, you’ll be able to move forward.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
