I know this topic has been asked over and over again so I apologize for the redundancy. I'd like to gather a census for the best recommended stethoscopes!
I'll be starting my traditional BSN program in the fall and I'm trying to figure out which stethoscope is most recommended for nursing school and also something that will be adequate after nursing school. The reason I've asked is because I've read sooooo many mixed reviews. I've read everything from "buy the cheapest because it will get the job done and it will most likely get lost or stolen" to "buy Littmann Cardiology III or Master Cardiology". I'm so confused. I'm leaning towards a Littmann Classic or Cardiology III.
All I know is that my program recommends Littmann brand. I'm not too concerned with price as long as the stethoscope isn't unnecessarily beyond my needs.
