The answer to this question really depends on a few factors. How tenacious is the candidate? This will take a lot of tenacity! You have to be willing to get turned down and keep trying! Are you willing to move? Even when I was looking 25 years ago, I moved several times to get more experience and promotions. If the market is saturated where you are due to schools graduating students in that specialty, lack of medical facilities, etc. , moving is sometimes your only option.
If working remote is in your plans,GREAT! However, you will sometimes need experience and you will definitely need certification! Start thinking now which one you want. Explore these websites:

You must do your research! You must think about what you want.
