Hi everyone, just need some advice on where on the internet is a good resource for surgical draping.

I have alexander's, but in need of additional resources, pics and videos.

background: I have been a surgical nurse for 2 years , 90% of the time circulating. I will have to scrub a case tomorrow and very anxious about draping, it's like draping is my nemesis :crying2: :uhoh3: . I have done this particular case a lot of times already but mostly circulate. I can handle the case itself but for some reason I simply cannot drape. I will have to do an abdominal drape and upper extremity drape. I have seen and observed and really paid attention the scrub persons drape in the past but my learning style is different, I have to actually do it a million times. I am expected to do this on my own tomorrow, and also by now I expect especially myself to know how to drape, If only i can get thru the draping then I'd be fine.
