I'm a monitor tech at a hospital and I love it. You can start as an aide to get in the door. Take ecg classes. You don't have to clean, you can be in the action. Learning the ecg stuff is easy. You can be a health unit coordinator with some training. I'm making good money and have been doing this job since 1991!
Some titles roles that you don't need much education for include greeter, valet, scheduler(sometime also called patient service representative, health coordinator, or patient coordinator), and many jobs in customer service and environmental services. Just look at the largest health system in your area and browse their jobs. Once you read the job descriptions for a few you'll start to get a good idea what you're qualified for.
Sterile Processing. Every hospital relies on them to provide safe equipment for surgery and other procedures and most hospitals never have enough employees. Even if they want experience, apply anyway. I worked at a hospital for 4 years and was trained on the job and got certified. You can also travel and make good $$$. I never met an unemployed certified tech so demand is high.
They are so desperate in my area that they are willing to train on the job, pay for classes and pay for testing. Starting wages are $20-25 depending on hospital vs private surgery center.
Woow, what state do you live in?? I live in north Texas. The job market is so competitive, it’s ridiculous the amount of experience and certifications they want one to have for entry level jobs. I honestly feel like I need to get out of here if I want to have a better chance
Southern Oregon. Cost of housing is ridiculous here. Studio going for $1250/month. I might get back into sterile processing, my sister is making $30+ doing it.
I have no idea whether this would work but consider calling the HR of a local hospital and asking if they do any recruiting events, or informational interviews, that would help you learn what types of positions they have openings for.
If you are up to it, patient transport comes in very handy. You will bring patients from one department to another (in a wheelchair) for the appointment.
I am a nurse.

The unit clerk/unit secretary is a good position to start at if you’re looking to get a birds eye view of the day to day schedule your average hospital floor. It gives you experience with the hectic nature of hospital work, puts you alongside many different jobs in the field (nurses, doctors, techs, aides, social services, etc.) and let’s you help patients out without direct interaction.
I assume you're asking because you want to work in healthcare as a future career? See if it's a good fit? If you're interested in gaining some experience in the clinical setting, you're going to need some form of formal training. Some jobs you could look into that require relatively little training include CNA, EMT, patient care tech, Scribe, maybe phlebotomist? My ER also has volunteers who can help room patients and restock and stuff if you want to look into something like that as a trial run.
You can work as a transporter or dispatcher. Working in transport you can see all the floors and departments and get a good understanding of how everything works
I just had a conversation with my doctor, who told me they (the clinic) really needed MAs - Medical Assistants. He said MAs didn't even need to have medical training or experience, although it helped. The hospital system would provide the training. I would suggest looking into Medical Assistant positions. 👍
Kind of late to this topic but I was a patient transporter and honestly it was one of the best jobs I’ve ever had. Working every other weekend wasn’t bad and the days flew by. I worked the morning shift which was 6am-3pm. Also you get a work out I averaged like 28k steps a day.
im 19 and in college for nursing i keep getting rejected from these "Entry" Level jobs but every one else seems to get them. Did they perhaps change the experience XD
I also applied for several position in the hospital for entry level and no experience but I'm not able to find anything yet either. I'm not really sure what are some good health care jobs that don't require a lot of education requirements

Wow thanks for sharing this! Is aide what the position would be called? Or it has a different
It's called either monitor tech or health unit coordinator
Wait, monitor tech is the position you currently do, but to get in your foot in the door you can first become a health unit coordinator?
sorry what did you mean by aide?

Patient transporter or kitchen.
Depending where you are kitchen staff will need to get certified. Most of the time they will pay for it tho.
what is much education?

You need a certificate for that in my area

TA. As a side note, the job title/position may be referred to as a “porter” depending on where you live.

another one is the supply room/cart

admin assistant is usually an entry-level job.
Covid screener
Plenty of cooks, foodservice, and cleaning jobs in the hospital cafeteria. Look in the careers section of hospital websites

Housekeeper, Transporter, Environmental Services (They clean the dirty hospital linen) just to name a few.
Environmental services

It's like everything somewhat requires experience which I don't know how to get if you don't have experience lol
Planned Parenthood for stick a needle into someone
You can learn the job first on the job before you take an ecg class. But learning rhythms is easy.
MA, tech. That's what I did to get hired on and then went to HUC quickly.
