I love my ultrascope, fwiw. Lighter than my littmann and I hear better with it. But Meriwhen is right, get a cheaper one for school. If you lost the cardiology you'd be hating life.

I bought an Ultrascope and couldn't hear a thing out of it! So frustrating! A fellow student had tried an Ultrascope and wanted one - she had a Classic II which was given to her as a gift and engraved. We traded. I can hear out of the Classic II and she said she could hear like she never dreamed possible. I think the Classic II is great - I would recommend to think twice about light color tubing as it can pick up ink and other stains.

I think it's better to start out with the less expensive Classic II for school. Then after you graduate, get the Cardiology III as a graduation gift (engraved with RN, of course)
I have the pearl pink...it's actually a nice color. It's a strong blush pink, not saccharine. I'm personally not a pink fan but I wanted something that wasn't the usual black/purple/blue and so less likely to walk off.
