You wont get on with PHI/Air Ambulance, etc.. or anybody like that without ALOT of turbine time. You feasibly cannot get that anywhere except the military. The private route will cost in upwards of @$80,000 minimum to get your commercial piston rating. And from that point, you simoly cant go 'rent' a turbine to build time.
As Blue sky mentioned, we have alot of military guys at the airlines who switched to fixed wing because of the limited jobs and working conditions of helos. These were guys with a few thousand hours and were not competitive for jobs. You have MANY more options with fixed wing.

That being said, go military.. Get her helo fix, then go fixed wing.
