Getting organized, order a stethoscope today

Published

I have been so busy today. I went to the college and bought the rest of my books, got a few supplies that I needed pen light, etc., talked with financial aid and got my student ID card. Boy does it feel official now. Walking around the campus, I felt good about going to school.

I also order online a Littmann Classic II S.E. stethoscope. Should arrive in 3-5 days. I didn't like the ones they had in the bookstore and they had the Littmann Classic II for $83.00. I ordered it online for 57.99. Even with shipping it didn't come to 83.00.

I organized my desk, cleaned it up a bit. Threw alot of paper away, got all my books out and folders ready. Now I have to begin reading to get a jump on everything.

I also found out today that a received an "A" in my sociology course that I took over the summer.

So I'm feeling pretty good right now. Less than a week away to begin. I hope I feel this good next week.

Hope everyone is doing well!!!

Ebay is a great place to buy Stethoscopes, I got a New Lit. Classic 2 S.E for $68 including shipping!!!!

Bargain Nut I am!!!!

Allheart is also a good place for steths. I just got a Cardiology III for $117.

**Note to the poor** Pay the extra money to get it engraved. When you spend that amount of money, you hate to see it sprout legs and walk away (which it will if you're not careful)

If you're worried about it changing the sound of the steth, take it to a trophy shop and just have them engrave the metal near the earpiece with your initials. It works!!!

I have a question about watches. I require a watch with a sweep hand, then they sent a letter and reminding us what we need and it read "Second hand". They are different right?

I think a watch with a second hand is all you need. I've never the term "sweep hand".

Sweep hand and second hand are the same thing, I think. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

:eek:

I forgot about a new stethoscope..What should I get. I see alot of you are getting or got the Littmann Classic S.E. or Cardio III

I have an Cheapy one I bought at a Work & Gear place, but I want to get a good one to get me thru 2 years of school. Do I want double or signal tubing? shorter or longer?

Man reading these boards are giving me more questions!

i have to say a littman is better.....well, i have a littman classic ii,:) the "cheaper" ones will last but one usually try to get a stethoscope for its audible capability. the tubing on mine is short in length. welcome to the board and all the best to you.
