What's a good stethoscope and hemo to buy for nursing school???

Don't buy the all heart stethoscope, they sold me a unit that the heart sounds are so faint, I couldnt even use it. The company will not make this situation might. I believe the company has a new owner, vs prior Jamie mcgrew/gwilem mcgrew. The former owners would have bent over backwards to keep from losing a customer. I bought the allheart cardiology stethoscope and even paid to put my name on it. What a waste of money.

Are you talking about purchasing from http://www.allheart.com?

That is correct. They have a stethoscope that they call the 'cardiology stethoscope,'. They put put their company name on it and I paid to have my name placed on the tubing if i ever lost it... Well I received the scope mid semester during rigorous (1 year Accelerated BSN) clinicals, and the sound quality was so poor I had to get a diiferent one from a local uniform shop. Once the smoke cleared from school, I followed up with the company about my problem, and this is their response (by the way no one ever contacted me from the company since)

Subject: Cardiologyy Stethoscope black edition allheart

Dear Allheart:

A couple of years ago I bought an allheart private label "cardiology stethoscope, black edition (smoke)"stethoscope from you. I had my name, Josiah, custom labeled on the tubing.

I paid a very reasonable price for this, but I quickly found that I you get what you paid for.

What I got, was a stethoscope that has the poorest heart sound auscultation that I could ever listen to in a stethoscope. The tubing and binaural are find... I checked the seal with my mouth and ears...

the head of the stethoscope... may be the problem. I just don't know.

I wanted to write to let you know that I'm unhappy with the stethoscope. Enought to write you about it. I'm a nurse - the sounds that I need to hear are of utmost importance. This equipment that you sold me is noy up to standard - and you needed to know.

The model # of the product is: AH-DST0500BKE

Thank you.
