I just got to do my first female cathiter! Yay! It was not as easu as it looks or at all how we practiced in the lab. The elderly patient I worked on was not anatomicaly correct. I was all set to go thinking about all the landmarks we were taught and they wernt there. She was a patient of "Dr. Love". All her "stuff" was moved inside! But I pull through!now I'm all signed off and can do them in the clinical setting without my instructor.

Congratulations!! You will find that female anatomy is more frequently as you described than what is considered "anatomically correct." It certainly can be a challenge. Good job!!
