About Dr. G the NP

Most clinicians learn how to manage EKGs. Fewer ever feel fully confident reading them. There is a difference between getting through a strip and actually understanding what you are seeing. That difference is what I focus on. 

Hi there,

I’m Tranise Goodlow, DNP, APRN, AGACNP-BC, also known as Dr. G the NP

My Background: I am a board certified cardiology nurse practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice and an Adult Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner degree. I have worked in clinical environments where EKG interpretation is not optional. It is expected. And over time, I have taught 10000+ of clinicians how to read EKGs with more clarity and confidence.

How I Got Here: Like most clinicians, I was not taught EKGs in a way that fully stuck. I was given pieces. Criteria. Patterns. But not a system I could rely on under pressure. So I did what most people do.I studied more. Reviewed more. Double checked more. And still felt that hesitation.

What Changed: The shift did not come from more information. It came from understanding what the heart is actually doing. Once that clicked, everything changed. EKGs stopped feeling like something to memorize and started feeling like something you can work through logically. That is the difference between recognition and understanding. And that difference is what removes the gap.

How I Teach

I am not going to overwhelm you with more information.

You have already had enough of that. What I will do is show you what was missing. Most clinicians were never actually taught how to understand an EKG. You were shown what to look for, but not what to look through what you were seeing…And then expected to make it all come together under pressure. That is not a learning problem. That is a teaching problem. So I go about teaching this differently. I slow it down. I break it apart. And I show you what is actually happening step-by-step. Not in a way that feels complicated. In a way that finally makes sense. There are moments where something clicks. Where what used to feel confusing suddenly feels obvious. That is not because you suddenly became smarter. It is because you are finally seeing it the way it should have been taught the first time. I am direct about what matters. I will point out where people usually get stuck. And I will show you how to move through it without guessing or second guessing. The goal is simple. Not just to help you recognize patterns. But to help you understand what you are looking at so you can trust your interpretation when it actually matters.

Also,

This is for clinicians who are already capable.

Whether you are already practicing or still in training and preparing to step into that role. But know there is still a gap in how confidently they read EKGs.

- Nurse Practitioners
- Nurses
- Physician Assistants/Associates
- Physicians
- Students preparing to step into clinical practice

...and anyone else who is expected to interpret an EKG and make decisions based on it.

If that responsibility falls on you, this applies to you.

What Most People Realize...

At a certain point, it becomes clear. You can keep working around it. Or you can finally fix it. Not by learning more pieces. But by finally having a system that makes everything make sense.
