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?

Good day, nandosport:
Ask your adviser if you would be penalized in any way by applying now? Ask if you get rejected, then what?
Thank you.

You'll have to contact the program. Some schools are more strict about volunteer hours. I didn't have any, but I had other things working for me, and my school isn't fanatical about volunteer hours.
