Choice of stethoscope is too big, what do you recommend

[rachelr]

hi all

i am a nurse in the uk currently awaiting credentials review for us licensing. now as we rns in the uk dont really use a stethoscope because that is more the drs and other practitioners role in diagnosing etc i want to practise chest auscultation skills. does anyone recommend a good stethoscope. i need one thats not too expensive, single tube, good sound quality especially as i am a beginner and dual head!

any suggestions???????????

thanks

I found one from MITCO medical instruments& supplies. It's identical to the Littmann classic ii but only cost me $20 and I'm very happy with it.
