Stethoscope

Nurses Uniform/Gear

Published

Hello everyone, this is my first post and I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on a good stethoscope for clinicals. At orientation we were told not to go too cheap or too expensive. Does anyone have opinions from good experiences in clinicals? Thanks for any advice.:)

Not a fan of the lightweight. It's freaking plastic!

Check out ADC stethoscopes on Amazon. They are just as good as Littman but cheaper.

Yes the Lightweight is horrible. Can't hear anything with it!

The Classic II S.E. is perfect for students, imo. After I graduated, I upgraded to the Cardiology III but I still have my Classic II as a backup.

I also have a Littmann Classic II - if you get it from medisave.net, they engrave and ship for free! I got carribbean blue tubing with a rainbow head with my name engraved...I get a lot of compliments and its unlikely to grow legs as I'd recognize it from 100 yards!
