Can someone reccomend a quality stethascope for a nursing student?

Question:

Answers:
There are the cheap ones, but they really do a pretty lousy job, because the diaphragm makes a lot of noise with rubbing over the skin or clothes, which to the untrained ear will only bring confusion about what is a normal or abnormal sound.

I definitely recommend buying a Littman, buy the "Classic II", you won't need more. It's cheap and of the highest quality! Then try listening with one of the cheap ones and you'll notice the difference.

I am an internist, that's the one I use and even if you use the fanciest types of Littman stethoscopes you won't barely notice any difference with the Classic II. Ah, and it'll last for years.

Other Answers:
if you were as broke as i was in school then the cheapest one you can find. maybe one from a nurse on a different floor than you work on w/o her knowing.

littman

I have a littman that I bought for $30 when I graduated from nursing school...it's the favorite toy of all the kids I work with (in other words, it gets beaten up quite a bit!)...and still works perfectly!

littman cardiac 3, you can hearwith it alot better than the old littman
