Best Stethoscope for new med surg nurse?

Published

I have an omron sprague I bought for $15 that works fine and according to my clinical professor it worked really good when she tried it my first year of school. I am now thinking of buying a new one because I just got my first job is a med surgical nurse and so it wont be as simple as just calling my instructor or the nurse when I cant hear a more faint BP or something.

Any suggestions for a good scope at the least expensive price. I am willing to pay money if I have to but if I can get something really good for less than $50 thats what I want.

Thanks

I have done a lot of reading on the question of stethoscopes...

They are a very personal thing, it would seem :) Is there any way you could try a few before you buy?

The other consensus seems to be, unsurprisingly, that you get what you pay for.

Some people love Littmans, others loathe them. A lot of people seem to like the Master Cardiology.

I've read good things about the Kila scopes too, and Ultrascope...

Have a good read through this subforum - there's tons of info here.

Good luck with your choice :)

Thank you. I have been reading till no end and still have no idea really. I figured I would do my own tread and just base my decision off of this one. There are just so many choices
