Silly question.. stethoscope color for school?

Published

Our scrubs are royal blue and I am torn between the Littmann Plum and the Littmann Raspberry. It's pretty ridiculous how how indecisive I'm being but I need help. Is the raspberry too bright? Which color would look best with the royal blue? Also I have green eyes so that was another consideration lol.

Are you a student? If so, check if your school has requirements. As for eye color, nobody is going to notice. And one final thought: if you are a student and do not hold an RN license, then you are in violation of terms of service by using RN in your username.

Ohmygoodness she *said* it was a silly question. I quite like the raspberry myself but do check if your school has requirements. We're excited, it's an exciting time, and no one is currently telling us how to use anything, they just want us to buy stuff and for some of us it's fun to shop for it. I can only page through Paganax3 so many times without having any context for it.

Maybe you could add bling or Multicolor LED strips to it.

I would check with your school to see if there is a color limit or requirement and if not have fun! Our clinical scrubs are royal blue but I opted for the lime green steth, with my name engraved on it. I figured it would be easier to find if I misplaced it.

I wish I had selected a distinctive color but as an insecure newbie, I wanted to look professional. Now I regret my boring steth looking like most of the others.

Next time, I'm going for the bling, baby!
