Can anyone recommend a stethoscope?

Published

I start my rn program in Aug, and my list of supplies needed did not specify type of stethoscope. I'm having to pay for EVERYTHING myself, so can anyone recommend a great, but affortable stethoscope and where may I purchase one?

thanks, Tina

i personally love the littman stethoscope. until you get one of your own.........here's one you can have. it's a state of the art one that i thought i'd never part with, but only for you dah-lin'. :chuckle ;)

so sorry...had to borrow the stethoscope back. hope you enjoyed it while you had it! :rotfl: :chair: :lol2: (july 15, 2002)

Littmann II SE. Invest in a good one, and get an unusual color for the tubing. I think Littmann has more than 20 color choices. I sometimes forget my steth at the nurses station, but the tubing is so garish-looking, no one dares to steal it.
