Could consider taking a CNA or registered nursing assistant course. My S took one last summer at a local community college after he was late to the application process for summer research programs. Yes, you are paying to take more school, but it is good and literally hands on patient facing experience. Once certified, there is usually a lot of need for CNAs and RNAs on a PRN basis, giving good flexibility for students to earn money/experience even during the school year. Easily transfers to most states. Also, everybody seems to respect the RNA experience because they know they are doing a lot of the, how should I say it, “dirty work” which you wouldn’t do if you weren’t dedicated to the cause of healthcare.
