Most medical-related degrees are probably about 2 years long. You could do a 2-year community college program and become a nurse, or respiratory therapist. Then there are technical schools where you could become a X-ray technician in about 18 months or so.

Your best bet is to go for an LPN and then an RN. While you will probably have to start at the beginning of a program, the demand for good nurses will be strong for many years. The LPN program will take less than 2 years, and then 1 or two more years for an RN program.
Other career options are X-Ray technician
Medical assistant
If you prefer the office end of this, go for a degree in medical/billing and coding and then onto administration.

As you are currently a Certified Nurse Assistant and a Patient Care Technician, you might consider becoming a Phlebotomist. Certification as a Phlebotomist is a one-semester to one-year program. Check with your local community college or hospital.

Associate degree in nursing takes two years, or you could become a lab tech in two years.
