More Nursing Goodies: Littmann Stethoscope and Nursing Dictionary

Hi!

I just thought I'd post a picture of one of my favourite Christmas gifts - a Littmann Classic II SE Stethoscope. My Mam got it engraved with my name so that no one pinches it - apparently that happens rather frequently. And she got it in ocean blue which is my favourite colour! Mine came with an instruction manual and a free interactive learning disc which I'm sure will come in very handy. I was originally just going to get a cheap steth but decided to splurge a little bit on a good quality one so that it lasts for a long time throughout my career. I have literally no idea how to work it properly yet but will be picking my boyfriend's Mam's brain very soon. I also want to get a a blood pressure cuff so that I can practice manual BPs before I start my course in March but let's just see how the pennies work out :) So here it is:



I also bought a nurses' dictionary recently and am looking forward to understanding at least some of the terminology soon :)

  1. Oh- that's lovely :) I desperately want a pretty lanyard for my student nurse ID- but can't find one anywhere that has the double clip saftey release that I need!

  2. Thanks, I love it but am yet to figure it out completely. I have a nice lilac lanyard but have been looking around for a 1 to go with my Steth. There are so many pretty lanyards available in America, China and Japan but it's so difficult to get them here. I'll keep my eyes peeled :)
