Best Nursing School Stethoscope?

Published

Hi,

I'm starting nursing school next month and keep reading conflicting answers regarding what stethoscope to purchase... I am stuck between ordering the Littmann Cardiology III and the Littmann Classic III. My goal is to either work in children's oncology or in the Children's ICU after graduation.

Specializes in LTC.

The best stethoscope is the one you can hear out of. (I'm not trying to be funny or snarky, I'm serious.) I currently use (and have for several years) a $4, disposable one that I can hear every little breath and bowel sound with. I personally can't hear squat out of any name brand stethoscope that I've tried so far. The bonus is that if it's "relocated" for any reason, it's super cheap to replace.
