labeling stethoscopes

You can get your name engraved on the metal earpieces, your name embossed on the tubing, and put a name tag on it...but your best bet is NEVER let it leave your sight :)

The danged things grown legs and walk off :mad:

Thanks for the advice! If I have already purchased my stethoscope do you know any place that you can send it away to have your name embossed on it? I looked around and most of the places just offer it if you buy theirs. Thanks!

Do you have a store called "things Remembered" in your town? It is usually located in the mall and offers engraving while you wait for a low price. They are popular here in the midwest for wedding gifts: goblets, lighters, necklaces, etc.

Yeah we have a Things Remembered-- I didn't even think of that! Where would you get it engraved? I am very new to the medical field (just got accepted) and I want to make sure I don't damage it with engraving.

Thanks!!

Things Remembered wouldn't engrave my Littman. The Sear's at my mall had an engraver and glass etcher. They engraved it for around $10.

I had my stethoscope engraved at Things Remembered. I think I paid $10-15, which included insurance in case something happened to it. I was very pleased with the results. At Sears they said that they would only engrave jewelry, and then only if I bought it there.

What part of the stethoscope did you have engraved? Thanks!

I bought my steth through Meridys.com They actually make a name plate that they engraved for free. It turned out really nice. It snaps on the steth

Thanks for the info! I really like the tag also. If I can't figure out where it is safe to engrave on the scope, I'll look into buying one ( I already havemy Littman so I'll just have to buy the tag) Thanks again!

I'm not in nursing yet, but it seems to me that a name tag would be more obvious to keep people from stealing it. It would be something that would make it stand out a little more.
