Which Stethoscope should I get?

Published

I start nursing school in January and I am looking to get a good stethoscope. I am looking at the Littman Master Classic or the Littman Cardiology III. Anyone have any feedback?

I would go with a Littmann Lightweight II SE stethoscope. These are high-quality, have excellent sound, are good for assessments, and can be had for less than $50.

This is what I use, couldn't be happier. I think I paid around $40 for a new one on amazon. Generally you cant go wrong with a Littmann.

I have the littman cardiology III stethoscope and it is amazing. Not sure of price though, it was a gift. But pretty much what everybody here is saying, you can't go wrong with littman

I am in nursing school and had the unfortunate luck of having my brand new Cardiology iii stethoscope stolen in the hospital. I had a black color and it was damn near impossible to look if someone was using it after it came up missing (although I stared down every resident that I thought had it) I would get one in a bright and unusual color that would be easy to spot if it does go missing. As others have stated, don't set it down or let anyone borrow it, especially a doctor or resident. A lot of them don't feel any guilt walking off with your stethoscope
