    You can try to be a pharm tech. Unfortunetly, most jobs in a hospital require some form of advanced education. At the very least, you can get a certificate and try to be an LPN, Paramedic, or EMT, which only require at least a year of extra schooling. Nursing and Technicians can take about two to four years. But if you are trying to be a professional, then you will need to do undergraduate schooling with extra years in graduate studies. That will take you anywhere from six to twelve years, depending on which profession you want to take. You can try looking into hospitals in your area for volunteer hours or if you can shadow a professional.

    Start first by volunteering at the hospital. Start talking to med professionals, ask them questions on how they got in, etc. You may be working a job non-med related but eventually, you will work your way up.

    Try any temporary retail jobs. Start applying online, since many of the applications are now only available online, and follow up by calling the store every so often to check if they received the application and ask them when they start hiring.

    Use the internet to your benefit. The time you use facebooking (if you do) is the time you can use to apply for multiple jobs. Some jobs even take a month or so before they even give you an interview. Many hire for the summer. GET THOSE APPS in NOW.

    To work in a medical environment you need education in a certian skill. You can volunteer at a local hospital and also work a part time job at a library or store. Take classe in your free time to work towards a medical career.

    Go around hospitals and ask them if they have experience tours. I'm not sure they employ you though.
