Beyond the Scrubs: Meet Bibi Zohreh Hashemi

Every clinician is inspiring in their own unique way. Some are gentle and nurturing; others bring a sense of humor. Some are passionate and energetic, while others are steadfast and reliable. In our new series, “Beyond the Scrubs,” we will conduct candid interviews that provide a deeper glimpse into the lives of the clinicians we admire.

“Beyond the Scrubs” is not a random name.

Every healthcare professional is a person beyond their job. Ultimately, it’s not just the “nurse,” “Tech,” or “Therapist” label that matters; it’s the individual—their passions, motivations, and kind nature—that illuminates their work.

At White Glove, we care for the person behind the title. We strive to make your workplace feel like a home away from home, where you feel accepted and valued. It’s a place where we have a good time, where we laugh and share moments, where we listen to your wows, worries, and woes, and where you feel comfortable being yourself.

Behind every pair of scrubs is a story—one of heart, resilience, and purpose.

Today, we’re honored to introduce Bibi Zohreh Hashemi, a humble ICU nurse with a powerful story. Let’s step beyond the scrubs and hear what inspires her.

I became a nurse because:

It’s part of my personality. I didn’t choose nursing—nursing chose me. My sister was born with heart disease, so I was exposed to it from a very young age. Caring became natural to me.

I never thought I’d do:

Draw blood with needles. I used to hate needles, and honestly, I still don’t enjoy pricking people—but I do it because it helps them.

My biggest challenge is:

When our voices aren’t heard. When we advocate for patients, and no one listens. I want to come home and sleep without a heavy conscience. Nursing is a human job, and being heard matters.
