Hi everyone!

I'm starting nursing school in August and I was curious,what color is your stethoscope? Someone told me not to get black because it could possibly "grow legs.":unsure:

What is the best brand and color?

Specializes in Critical Care, Emergency Care.

I have a littman cardiology 3 black edition. The entire thing is black including bell, chest piece, and binaurals. It hasn't "grown legs" yet, but the tubing is engraved with my name.

Mine is purple. I also got a cardiology 3. The tubing is purple and the bell is a metallic rainbow. I also got my name engraved on it. But mine will definitely stand out.

Bright orange Littman with grey ear pieces. Has my name on it. I got orange just so nobody would mistakenly take it.

I bought a couple of very cheap ones from Amazon when I started school. I have blue and purple. I used them throughout nursing school and clinicals and they always worked fine. I rewarded myself with a Littman for graduation.

Lots of people bought expensive stethoscopes and didn't make it to the 2nd or third semester, my cheap ones got me through.

Whatever you end up choosing- get your name engraved on it!

I have a red littman cardiology III and love it!

I'm starting Nursing classes this fall too! I just ordered my stethoscope off allheart.com. A light blue Littman Classic II S.E. (Because it was in the middle between cheap and pricey, and apparently, it's a good student steth) I got my named engraved on the bell, I believe.

Medisave offers free engraving on the diaphragm/bell, or they did when I started last summer.
