I've recently graduated and passed my NCLEX-RN. I'm wondering if anyone might offer me suggestions for a new stethoscope?

I like my littmann cardiology III, but definitely not necessary.

I have a Littmann Cardiology III, too. I can't hear as well on some of the "cheapies", although I have co-workers who use them and like them just fine.

I have the Littmann Cardiology III as well and I would definitely recommend it.

Check out the Adscope 603... I actually like it better than my Littman Master Cardiology!

I bought my Classic SE II in nursing school and it's what I've had my entire practice. Love my stethoscope. :)

I've been using Littmann Classic II for 15 years (as a massage therapist) but got a Classic III for nursing school at the start of this year. I like the pediatric side option.

BUT, my sweet wonderful other half bought me the Cardio IV, and it's serious love. I can hear everything with that thing, and I mean absolutely EVERYTHING. Even though I'm in school and it would be way too much steth for most of my classmates, I've been listening to heart and lung and GI sounds for well over a decade.
