Yeah nah I imagine being a paramedic is really stressful, you're going into this with experience so no doubt you'll be more prepared than I was. The knowledge you have will help with finishing assignments while you work if that's how they do it at your university too.

My university has some issues, I'm not the only student who has had a difficult time dealing with things. I was told the best way to do it is grit your teeth and just do what needs to be done. I actually asked for help at one point because I was overwhelmed and I was told I should quit and come back when I'm ready. That's the "advice" I was given for saying I'm overwhelmed.
