Coming up in the streets, I had to learn how to read people early on. I’m a very analytical person. I observe a lot of the things that people don’t notice.

They say somebody’s ‚street smart.‘ I feel like, if I got intelligence, it’s just a country smart.

I’m a good teacher and am great at observation and picking out what’s wrong and fixing it.

I love reading people. I really enjoy watching, observing, and being able to figure out a person, the reason they wore that dress, the reason they smell the way they do.

Girls talk to each other like men talk to each other. But girls have an eye for detail.

The most important practical lesson that can be given to nurses is to teach them what to observe – how to observe – what symptoms indicate improvement – what the reverse – which are of importance – which are of none – which are the evidence of neglect – and of what kind of neglect.
