Stethoscope?

Nurses Uniform/Gear

Published

I will be starting Nursing 1 this summer and we need to purchase a stethoscope....was wondering if anyone can recommend a brand and what is the difference between the single & double tubing? Thanks in advance!!

Michelle, At our school you have to buy your own scrubs, and stethoscope. The school recommended the Littman Classice II SE, but I got a Cardiology III as a gift and I use it more than the Classic II, when I am finally a nurse, I think I will invest in a Master Cardiology. I would get my name engraved on it, but be aware that some places only "engrave" by spraying on some gold lettering. That will eventually wear off.

As for scrubs, the school just asked that they are white. We then have to sew on patches and put on name tags. (By the way, the patches and name tags we had to buy as well.) Eventually we will have to purchase a nurse's kit this year. The first quarter our books were around $1000.00 going forward books will be about 300-500 a quarter.

We also had to pay membership to the Nursing Students Association. Nursing School has been quite expensive.
