Stethoscope Recommendations?


Hello everyone!
I have just graduated from an RN program and will be starting on a Pulmonary unit. I am wondering if there is a stethoscope out there that is any better than another in order to hear all of the different lung sounds. I really don't like the one I used through school. I have heard the Ultrascopes are better to hear from than Littman. Does anyone know if this is the case? TIA!

I have a Littmann Cardiology III and I love it. It works really well!

I have the Litmann Cardio III as well. Works GREAT! I have had exposure to loud noises from past and current jobs and you can hear everything with this. Just keep a good eye on it- residents love to "borrow" and try to walk off with it.

I have the Littmann, Master Cardiology (black edition, naturally). I love, love, LOVE this stethoscope! Not only is it an excellent stethoscope, but you look like a super cool, ninja with it around your neck.
