What are some health care related jobs that a student with little certification could get? I had a job until I recently found out that the restaurant I'm working at is closing down. Now, I have to find a new job at least long enough to finish out the rest of the semester. I was thinking about finding a job in the medical field that would demonstrate my interest in medicine while also putting food in my stomach. The problem is, I don't have any kind of certification (PCA, CNA, EMT, etc.), and I can't get any certification until at least Winter Break this December. What kind of jobs are available to me in the health care field to tide me over until I can get some certification and a real health care job? 

I already looked in my area (Virginia) for some scribe and orderly programs, but there are none that are close enough to school. Plus, most orderly positions require at least PCA certification. Would getting a job at a dentist or optometrist be irrelevant?
