Best Littmann Stethoscope for Nursing School

Nurses Uniform/Gear

Published

Hello everyone,

I will be starting Nursing School in May '17. I will be purchasing a stethoscope before starting the program, but I am torn between which one is best. I have seen great reviews for the Littmann Classic II SE, but am also interested in the Littmann Classic III. Which one would you recommend is best for Nursing School?

A great rule of thumb is if you are performing physical assessments and monitoring, to go with the 3M™ Littmann® Classic III™ Stethoscope. If you are performing detailed diagnostic auscultation, to go with the 3M™ Littmann® Cardiology IV™ Stethoscope. :)

Littmann Classic II SE is good for overall performance. Classic III is also a good option.

But, In my opinion Classic II SE works better for Nursing Student
