GREENSBORO ATTORNEY HASN’T LOST HER HEALING TOUCH
Harriett Smalls was featured in this week’s News-Record for leading a unique double life: lawyer by day and nurse practitioner on weekends. Smalls was actually a full-time nurse before entering law school in 1996, and although she now focuses her full-time attention on practicing law with the Smith Moore firm in Greensboro, she carves out two weekends a month to work a 16-hour shift at Forsyth Medical Center. Incredible as this seems, the article fails to mention that Smalls is also president of the N.C. Association of Women Attorneys.
