Is this normal?

Advice Needed

I started training as a BT a little over a month ago, and I’m working for my certification hopefully in June. At the clinic I’m working for I have been shadowing and getting more and more involved with clients and data collection. That’s all good. My question is, is it normal to have different clients every single day every week in a clinic environment?

I’m feeling a little overwhelmed having to learn 3-4 new clients every day and go through all the documentation of behaviors and programs and remember it all. I’m sure I’ll start to remember it as I begin to have reoccurring clients but I can’t help feel some dread in my stomach the night before each day because I have 3-4 new strangers to try to learn in just a few hours.

To clarify I’m enjoying the job I just want to know if it is what it is. Thanks!
