How am I supposed to get a job in healthcare with no experience if all the jobs out there say "must have experience"?

I’m a second-year biochemistry student on the pre-med track, and I’m trying to build strong clinical experience. I recently got my phlebotomy certification, but I’m having trouble finding positions without prior experience. What are the best strategies to break into clinical roles (like phlebotomy, MA, or lab assisting) when you’re just starting out, and what should I focus on to stand out to employers?

What does a typical day look like for professionals working in oncology infusion, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy, and what are the most meaningful and most challenging parts of that work?

I have been working as a nursing assistant since I was 16 and recently got my phlebotomy license. For a while I thought I wanted to be a nurse, but I recently switched to health science.

what are entry level positions within the hospital setting ?

i am headed down the career path of fire & ems, but have a few years of an "in-between" now and a full time spot in the fire/ems service. with that said, i have my nremt certification, and am obviously not exactly looking for a full on career, but a position within the hospital setting to hold at least til i am full time service. i am okay with some schooling/certifications, but nothing heavy with already having a path chosen. looking for a job/department i can walk right into and any other requirements can be completed post-hire. trying to stay away from the strictly/direct/heavy patient care area, such as a cna, but am open to all possible positions that would be available as "entry level". i felt about anything would look good having under my belt, as well as experience, so it doesn't have to be as directly related as an er tech job-for example

How to start a new career in the medical field after 40?

After 18 years in corporate marketing and a BA in psychology from 20 years ago I’d like to start a second career in the medical field. I am thinking of starting with a certificate in phlebotomy and then hopefully use tuition reimbursement to help pay for surgical tech school or another two year degree. I know I will take a huge financial set back but I don’t want to work in marketing or corporate anymore. Any advice?
