I just changed my major to pre-nursing this year (fall 2013). And at the end of this semester I'll have all of my prereqs completed; however, I won't have any healthcare related volunteer hours (and my school suggests 75 hours). They are not required, but I don't know anybody who has gotten in without the volunteer hours completed. Do you think I should just wait to apply for the spring semester?
