Watch This Student Set Up a Mayo Stand for the FIRST Time 👀 | with a ST Instructor’s guidance

If you’ve ever been a surgical tech student, you KNOW this moment 😭👇
In today’s video, I walk my student through one of the most intimidating skills in CST school — setting up a Mayo stand and back table without panicking, contaminating, or dropping half the sterile field.

This is the part of CST school that every student overthinks…
and the part that instructors can spot mistakes in from across the room. 😂

In this video you’ll see:

✨ How a student sets up a Mayo stand step-by-step
✨ A clean, efficient back table setup
✨ Real instructor feedback (the stuff students WISH they knew sooner)
✨ How to organize instruments like a pro
✨ Common mistakes EVERY CST student makes
✨ Tips you won’t hear in most classrooms or clinical sites

Whether you’re preparing for skills check-offs, gearing up for clinicals, or refreshing before a shift in the OR, this video will help you build confidence and get faster, safer, and more organized.
