I have started to look around to get an idea as to the types, and costs of supplies, as I anxiously await the "letter of acceptance or denial". Anything to make the process of waiting a little easier.
There are so many different types of stethoscopes and BP cuffs available, and I dont know what features to look for in either one of them.
I have heard that the Littman Cardiology 3 is a great Stethoscope, but would the Littman Classic 2 be just as good?
As for BP cuffs.... whew, dont get me started. What is the best brand and what are the differences, please?
Maybe, tell me which ones you have and which have worked the best for you.
I need to narrow down the possibilities. And while I am a strong believer that you get what you pay for, I am sure there might be some lower end models available that will do just as well.
The shoes I have read that we need, must be white and Impermeable, as well as no open toed or cloggs. My main priority with shoes is comfort, so any suggestions there will be a great help as well.
Go for cheap. Stethoscopes get stolen/ lost ALL the time. You wont be able to hear anything good while youre a student becasue you wont know what youre listening for. I got my BP cuff from the book store at my school. It was $20 and it works great.

Disagree. How do you expect to learn what your listening for if your not hearing everything.
Very few students in my class lost their scopes so I don't think thats a good enough reason unless your forgetful.
I read on another thread that you should buy two, one good one around 70 - 100 dollars to mostly use and a cheap one for when or if u lose or forget the good one home, you have a back up...just a thought...
