My name is Tasharia Burke, and I am a 23-year-old registered nurse with a bachelor of science in nursing. I started working as an RN in October of 2020. Fashion has always been one of the things I am interested in, and before I realized my passion for helping others, I wanted to own a boutique. Although I did not put fashion as number one on my career goals, I always knew that I would come back to it sooner or later.
As I began to brainstorm online boutique ideas, I suddenly started to think about how much I work. I noticed how many days out of the week I am at work and that sometimes even when I am off, I barely go anywhere to wear any outfits. I felt the need to incorporate fashion into my everyday life, and since I am a nurse, there are not many ways to do that other than with scrubs. Then, it hit me! I wanted to create a boutique that sells fashion pieces and fashion scrubs.
I thought it would make healthcare personnel feel good to have the option of wearing stylish, comfortable scrub sets while at work. Who doesn't want to look good while working hard? I also realized the demand for scrubs since so many professions wear them. Not only do nurses and hospital workers wear scrubs, but dentists, dental hygienists, estheticians, lash and nail technicians, and spa-workers do as well. Many other professions now have the option of wearing scrubs, since they do not have to look like the average, hospital-wearing scrub sets.
Because I work in healthcare and the world is going through a pandemic, I know how critical medical gear such as masks, goggles, shields, gowns, shoe covers, and even hair covers are. I want to be a source that people can come to in order to protect themselves, their families and loved ones, and others who choose not to partake in wearing a mask.
