I have a fairly expensive one, the Littman Cardiology III. I love it and would never use anything else. Littman stethoscopes are really great, and they come in a variety of prices. I would say go for the Littman if you can afford it - if not, the cheaper ones will be fine in the meantime.
I too have a littman Card III and love it. If it's within your means, I highly suggest it. Mine was a gift from my partner before I started my first semester. I'm heading into my 4th and It never leaves my side on clinical days. Except when I have isolation patients and can't take it in with me. Grrrr.
anyways, if it's not within your means to get a littman, check with your local uniform shop, medical supply or favorite online retailer. They do come in a variety of proce ranges and styles. Best of luck to you

Hi! im just about to start nursing school and im wondering, do I need to provide my own stethoscope?(probably) and what kind should I get, just a cheapo 20 dollar one or spend the big bucks for a good one, does it really matter? Do the expensive ones make that big of an impact?
