Personalizing Stethoscopes?

Here is a question for all of you nursing students and graduate nurses... How did you personalize your stethoscope? I don't want to just write my name on it with permanent marker. I made an ID tag out of beads, the only problem is I can't figure out how to attach it to have it stay put. My steth is a Littmann classic II, and doesn't have the extra piece around the neck that would be useful for wrappin a ID tag around (like this one: http://topbanana.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/littmann-stethoscope-hunter-green.jpg)

Do you find sleeves get in your way at all, or are tough to clean?

    I've worked in a hospital and these things go missing like crazy.

    My neonatal Littman "went missing" from my purse inside the locked NICU in a major children's hospital in my county. Which means some loser on staff went into my purse to steal it. Strangely on the unit I work now as an aide, Littmans lay around like they grow on trees and never disappear. Go figure.

    Question for all of you,

    I'm getting my steth personalized. However, I'm engaged. I'll have my current last name in school but after graduation will be getting married. I'm getting a Littman Cardio III, so it should last me awhile. When I engrave my name should I have my first name only, first and maiden, or first and future last name?

    For me.. I would probably just get my first name, that's only because I have a very unique name... but if your first name is pretty common, you definitely would probably want a last name on it too. Why not engrave it with your first and maiden name for now, making room at the end so when you get married, you can add the future last name.

    Medisave does free engraving, that is where I got mine done and looks great!

    Anyway, my own stethoscope has bead work on it. Similar to this :http://www.taosindiantradingco.com/beadwork.php my sister did it for me. Warning though, it is heavy.

    Looked a little like a snake! It kinda creeped me out :D
