I am entering nursing school in 18 days.  I have to buy a stethoscope but there are soooo many brands and price ranges.  Does anybody know which is the best for the money?  Which ones help you hear the best?  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Google "stethoscopes" and compare- as a student you can often find package prices which will include the steth and various items such as heart/lung sounds, instruments, BP cuff etc...

Thank you both for your replies.  I finally went to a med supply store and bought a Littman Lightweight II SE.  I think it will last me quite a while and seems comfortable.  I looked at so many on line that it got to be confusing.  Anyway, see you all around the boards...
