    P_RN replied to rn865's topic in General Nursing

    P_RN replied to GonnaBSN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I bought mine from a "person" in person (a doctor in fact)and Littman has replaced several things for me, so my experience says yes. However I also think you should make sure it is indeed a Littman...
