Hey everyone. I am looking for suggestions on a quality but lightweight stethoscope. Any suggestions for make/model? Thanks! :nurse:

I have a Littman Classic II SE and love it, there have been times where I've used someone else's cardio because they want me to hear something interesting that is rather faint on mine, I think if I was working ICU or ER I might invest in a higher model but for my basic night on Med/Surg it works great

I love my Littman SE II Lightweight. I got it for a birthday present so I don't know how much it cost but search the internet for the best deal. There are some on ebay for $35 - $50. My parents even had my name engraved on mine before they gave it to me! The light weight of it is incredible as compared to my friends' stethoscopes.

Of course I'm still a student (LPN) and I suppose it depends on what area of nursing you're in if you need one of those cardiologist kind or all those different styles I'm not familiar with. I'm just tellin' ya - I like mine!!
