ProfessionalCry9079's journey

I've been an EMT for 20 years and I'm looking to transition into a CMA, CNA, or LPN role. I'm wondering if medical offices typically hire EMTs for these positions, even without the specific certifications or licenses. I really need to move on from working in an ambulance, but I've faced a lot of rejections in my job applications. I suspect age discrimination might be a factor, especially since there aren't many opportunities in my small town. Any advice or thoughts on how to approach this would be greatly appreciated.
