So I want to get a job in a hospital for experience and a little money while im taking classes. What type of job to you guys reccomend. I dont have any hospital experience and am not certified in any medical field. I'm sure there are entry level positions that I could fill and get some experience.....

Most jobs worth doing in the hospital require some sort of training and certification. You can become an ER tech or phlebotomist after a short two week course, where you learn to check vitals, draw blood, run an EKG, dress wounds, etc. The certification process varies from state to state, so you'll have to do a little footwork to see how you can get the training. 👍

Most likely you would have to get a PCT or CNA license to work (get paid). You can volunteer to do scut though.

I suggest clinical research... you'll gain research experience AND you'll have exposure to patients.

I have a job as support staff, and it's pretty good. Full-time hours in the summer, casual during the school year, and awesome pay rates.
As a CSR tech, I clean, decontaminate, assemble, and sterilize instruments for the OR, set up OR casecarts, process endoscopes, etc. Sure it's not glamourous, but I've learned a lot. As well, you work with the nurses/doctors extensively and gain a better understanding of the dynamics of a hospital. The only downside is the lack of patient contact, but it's easy to get that by volunteering.
Another premed girl I know has a job as a morgue attendant.
