Stethoscopes


Which stethoscope is the best for nursing? I currently have a Littmann lightweight 2 and it is light but i can hear a lot of outer noises which is pretty distracting. I have tried the ADC double lumen style and they are nice but bulkier and heavier. I've heard that prestige is good, littmann classic, or littmann cardiology (kind of pricey though)? What do you use and prefer?

Littman Cardiology. Worth it. Ultrascope is nice, as well.

I have a Littmann Master Classic II that does quite nicely for nursing school. If I end up in cardiac or critical care after I graduate, I might upgrade to Littmann's Cardiology line.
