I volunteer at a hospital ~4 hours a week (from around 6-10pm once a week) and I really do enjoy it, I love interacting with patients and family members and get along really well with the nurses in my unit. But I work full time (graduated college a few years ago), often work late, have a long commute, and am now traveling a bunch for interviews. With all of this, I feel like my time is really stretched thin during the week and volunteering is becoming a major hassle.
I have about 100 hours at this point (I've been volunteering for a little over 6 months), but on my AMCAS I indicated that I would be continuing until about 150 hours (9ish months). Is it bad if I stop volunteering now, or at least take a break until January? Would that mean I'm lying on my AMCAS? I honestly did intend to go for 150 hours but it's really hard with working full time and being so busy these next few months.
