   Quite a few have kids, one of us has 5 kids!!! As long as you make it clear you have a great support system (if they ask) I don't think it'll hurt you. And they do ask in the interview about how you...

    First off, you should apply. It's $50, or was, and you don't have to pay again if you apply the next year, so nothing to lose. Also, the majority of us didn't have volunteer experience in healthcare....
