If you’ve ever seen a high-yield NCLEX question about digoxin, this episode is for you. In Think Like a Nurse, created by Brooke Wallace, a 20-year ICU and organ transplant nurse and published author, we make one of nursing’s most high-alert drugs simple to understand. Learn how this cardiac glycoside strengthens the heart, when to hold the dose, how to catch early toxicity signs, and what to teach patients for safety at home. A quick, high-value pharmacology lesson every nursing student needs before the exam — and before the bedside.

This episode of Think Like a Nurse, created by Brooke Wallace, a veteran ICU and organ transplant nurse and published author, takes you deep into one of the most high-yield drugs in nursing: digoxin.

You’ll learn exactly how this powerful cardiac glycoside works, why it’s on every hospital’s high-alert list, and what nursing assessments can literally make the difference between help and harm.

We’ll walk through:

The mechanism of action (how digoxin strengthens contractions and slows the rate)

The must-do nursing assessments — including when to hold the dose

The early signs of toxicity that start in the GI tract, not the heart

The key electrolyte imbalances that raise risk (think potassium and magnesium)

The patient teaching points that keep people safe at home

It’s a clear, fast-paced conversation built to help nursing students and new nurses connect pathophysiology with practical bedside care — and think like a nurse with confidence.

🎧 Perfect for:

Nursing students studying pharmacology or preparing for the NCLEX

New graduate nurses learning safe medication practices

Any nurse wanting a quick, memorable review of digoxin safety
