Question Shadowing hours, enough?


SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads)
Hey there!
So, before I begin this semester I will have from 50 to 70 shadowing hours, is this going to be enough for most schools? I am really worried because up until now I don't have any community service because I have been thinking -since I began college- that this would take time from my studying. What do ya think?

That should be enough for most schools; just watch out for schools with a shadowing hours requirement, which is usually about 100 hours

Just do 30-40 more hours which is like a week's worth of shadowing anyways and cover your butt, but for the most part yes that's enough for most schools.

Golden number is a 100, but you should be fine.
