Okay, I'm dumb, but I really didn't know that there are as many stethoscopes out there as there are. Any thoughts on which are best for student nurses (or any nurse for that matter)? ANY help would be greatly appreciated!

At least that's what the nurses who have gone before me said. Expensive ones have a tendancy to grow legs and run away. For now, I am using one of those $20 sets from our bookstore. Make sure the "rubber tubes" aren't too long. Mine were like 2 feet long when I got it. A nurse finally trimmed them down to an appropriate length. And if/when you feel a more expensive set is necessary, simply remind your loved ones that stethoscopes make great graduation gifts. :)

I second what NewGrad said about getting your steth. personalized. You can get a little badge or have your name put on the tubbing. I still keep a close eye on mine but I feel better knowing that if it walks off it will be easier to tell who took it.
