In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tranise Goodlow, a nurse and cardiology expert who shares her incredible nursing journey. Tranise talks about her early career and how her passion for cardiology grew, particularly after her first nursing job where she developed a deep interest in EKG interpretation. Her journey also includes advanced education, research, and hands-on experience in outpatient cardiology, all of which helped shape her expertise and career path.

Tranise emphasizes the importance of continuous learning in nursing, especially in cardiology. She discusses how nurses can develop confidence in interpreting EKGs and highlights the risks of relying too heavily on computer-generated interpretations. One key takeaway is the value of sharing knowledge and making learning engaging for others, which helps nurses stay up-to-date and avoid the pitfalls of knowledge hoarding.

We also dive into the opportunities available for nurses interested in cardiology, including locum work and the path to becoming a Cardiology Nurse Practitioner. Tranise offers valuable advice for those navigating career challenges, transitioning into cardiology, or seeking to expand their knowledge and skills. Whether you're looking to specialize or broaden your practice, this episode is packed with inspiration and practical tips for advancing your nursing career.
