Without experience, the jobs you'll find in the medical field will be things like unit clerk, secretary, PCT, patient observation (1:1 aide, patient watch), and patient transport. You can also look into your state laws and see if you're eligible to get your Nursing Assistant certificate after a certain number of clinical hours. All of those jobs may give you the chance to get your feet in the door and network.

However, if what you're really looking for is income to pay for school, your best bet is to get a job that allows you to make the most money in the least amount of time. That may not be in healthcare at all. Restaurant service, working weekends and Friday nights, might be the most profitable.
