Hi all, if I plan to take 4 years to complete my pre-reqs, and plan to work full-time the first 2 years, when would be a good time to start doing EC's like clinical volunteering? I plan to volunteer at a hospice and tutoring kids in school. I was also thinking of perhaps getting a CNA license and doing that a couple days per week. In other words, how many hours of clinical volunteering should I have?
 
Start now. Non-trads have some flexibility regarding hours logged, but if you are going to take the entire 4 years, 1 day a week will give more than enough hours.
