As a nurse I have done this procedure so many times that I have lost count. Sometimes it is hard if someone has weird anatomy, or an enlarged prostate, but other times it is easy. You won't be expected to just do it without being shown, so I wouldn't worry about it. Once you've done a few then you will get used to it. Health Question & Answer
The procedure itself for male or female is not difficult. It's keeping everything sterile that you really have to focus on. Good luck!Health Question & Answer
