How to break into clinical research ( I am not a nurse)

I don't post often but do not know where else to turn. I am looking for an entry level position in clinical research trials. My background is a BA with years of experience in a corporate enviroment and I am a licensed Nuclear medicine technologist so I have healthcare expereince.

I live in NJ so there are plenty of pharmaceutical companies. I see lots of advertisements for CRA and CRO but all the positions want experience. I was offerend an interview for one entry level job but it was very far away and they wanted me to start in the middle of the summer . In retrospect, maybe I should have gone on the interview but the thought of commuting 1.5 hours each way everyday made me sick.

Right now, I am working per diem ( 3 days a week ) in Nuclear Med at a hospital. I love research and I don't mind sitting at a desk doing paperwork if I love the job.

Should I just mail my resume to all the big pharmaceutical companies in the area and tell them I am looking for any entry level job in clincial reseach? Unfortunately, I don't have any connections.

Thanks

Monica
