 Littman stethoscope November 22, 2009
S. Leach (Georgia)
This is a great affordable stethoscope for the begining nurse. I bought this for my wife. It is a good quality instrument. No fancy bells and whistles that bring up the price. Enjoy !
Great buy October 24, 2009

This product is a great buy. I am in PA school and it serves my purpose. I don't know how it compares for people buying this as a dr, but I do have to use it on patients in the hospital and it works great. Easy to hear, very clear, and it's so light! It almost feels like a toy because it's so light! My friend got a more expensive Littman and I can definitely hear better through mine than hers. Would definitely recommend buying.
Comfortable Stethoscope to Use for Beginning Nurses September 27, 2009

As a first-year BSN student, I see many of my classmates using this stethoscope. Two possible reasons for this are that the price is nice and the bookstore only carries Littmanns :). However, this scope brings a lot to the table for those just beginning their nursing careers:
1) The light weight is great for long shifts with it draped around your neck.
2) The unique shape to the diaphragm and bell are really comfortable to handle during BP's and other auscultations; You can easily and securely wedge the spade-shaped chest piece between the index and middle fingers. Its much more comfortable to do that with this scope than with others.
3) The ear tips are really comfortable. I had a $20.00 Sprague Rappaport style that had binaurals and ear tips initially designed for use during the Spanish Inquisition! Ouch! All the Littmann models are great to wear.
4) The Lightweight has great acoustics for most nurses (or at least nursing students!) I never tried hearing pulmonary sounds, but all apical and brachial pulses (during BP measurements) were easily heard.
4) It has a traditional bell in case, like me, you aren't really a huge fan of the tunable diaphragm. (It's just me personally - many pros like them and use them just fine).
To be fair I do NOT own one of these; this semester it came down between the Lightweight and the Littman Classic II SE and the later won due to the heavier weight (in my mind this equates to more durability, though nothing against the quality of the Lightweight). I also felt the Classic II SE was slightly louder.
In the interest of full disclosure, I usually use a Prestige Medical Clinical I Stethoscope, Stealth during clinicals - it sounds great, is comfortable, came with multiple ear tips, and one extra diaphragm. It's also cheaper than my Littmann, so I won't be too sad if it 'grows legs'. The Prestige Clinical I is a traditional diaphragm/bell setup - none of this 'press firmly to hear higher-pitched noises', etc. As I said, it is just a matter of preference, but I want to keep the instruments simple while I learn to listen for what I need to hear. But I'm off topic...
This Littmann Lightweight II SE is a great stethoscope for those of us who are starting out and don't need to/want to invest money in a cardiology-grade steth. It is well built, light and comfy, and amplifies sounds well. Though light, it also seems like it will be just as long-lived as the other Littmann models I've read about (they are built well).
Word of advice though: Littmanns are popular! Get the Littmann name tag (sold separately) or otherwise mark this puppy as your own. Many others will have this same scope, and they do tend to walk off at school or in the hospital. Protect your investment!
