Ashley in Grand Rapids, Michigan 39 months ago	I am graduating with my Masters in Health Administration in April of 2009. I have interned with 2 nursing home facilities and would like to start my career in long term care when I graduate. I believe that AIT programs are a good way to start, however, I would need a paid position. Are there any AIT programs in the Chicago area or in West Michigan? - Was this comment helpful?

They usually require you to have a license prior to selecting an AIT person. I will sit for the test in 2 weeks. I see many postings for AIT but none seem to hire unless a license is already acquired. chat with you soon thanks - Was this comment helpful? Yes (3) / No Reply - Report abuse
Dionne Hunter in Dearborn, Michigan 38 months ago	No, I am taking it in the summer. The qualification were that you had to be eligible to take it within 6mths and they would train you. So since you said that I will wait until I take it and then look for some programs. Thanks - Was this comment helpful? Yes (2) / No Reply - Report abuse

With a Masters degreee look into working at a hospital and work your way into the executive ranks. Better pay, benefits, and increase job security. You can even work for the State you live in. Search what other jobs you can do with your Masters in Senior Services. Many jobs are out there. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (1) / No Reply - Report abuse
Dionne Hunter in Detroit, Michigan 35 months ago	Hi Asley, I live in the metro Detroit area and I could not find an AIT program. What I did was called a nursing home Administrator and ask her if she could train me under her. Unfortunately I am not getting paid, it is like an internship. However, you may want to call the different nursing homes in that area and they may be able to assist you with finding a paid program. Hope that helps - Was this comment helpful?

Hello Charmaine, I live in North Miami and I have been looking for and AIT program. I graduated in Feb 2008 with my masters in Healthcare Administration and have been working as assistant administrator in and Assisted Living Facility since Mar 2007. Recently I started to contact nursing homes but without success of finding an AIT program paid or unpaid anywhere in Florida. I would even consider moving. One would think in Florida with all it's nursing homes it would be easy to find such a program. Good luck in your search. I hope we do find a program soon. Mohan Ramnarine - Was this comment helpful?

Charmaine Bowes-Finegan in Cherry Hill, New Jersey 33 months ago	Hi Mohan, I have gotten an Assistant Administrator's position, it is my understanding that after a year with this experience I will be able to sit for the boards.Discuss this with your former administrator, good luck and keep me informed. Charmaine - Was this comment helpful? Yes (1) / No Reply - Report abuse
Mohan 33 months ago	Charmaine, Thank you for the response. I am happy to hear that you have found a position as Assistant Administrator. Are you in Florida or New Jersey. Initially I thought the email read that you are in Miami. However today I see Cherry Hill NJ. I am asking because you said that after one year as AA you could write the boards. As far as I know in Florida one need to have the AIT program, a 2 year training program. If you are in Florida maybe the rules have changed and I am not aware of it. again many thanks for the response and advice. randy - Was this comment helpful? Yes (1) / No Reply - Report abuse

srq alice in Sarasota, Florida 31 months ago	I am trying to figure out how one becomes a Nursing Home Administrator. What is the process? Do you need a degree in certain field(s)? plus training ? From the boards it appears that you need to do an AIT -which I assume is admin in training - then take some grueling exams and then are ready for a position? Thanks in advance for spelling it out for me. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (1) / No Reply - Report abuse

Mohan 31 months ago	Hi, For information on becoming a nursing home administrator in FL go on the internet and seek out the board of nursing home administrators or training for nursing home administrators, this should give you links to the requirements for a nursing home admin in FL. I must add that the Administrator in Training Program is required. I am sure you will read of many who are searching for one of these programs (including myself). It appears that these programs are very few and very competitive so be care in approaching this field as a career. Best of Luck. Mohan - Was this comment helpful? Yes (1) / No Reply - Report abuse

aron77 in Lees Summit, Missouri 30 months ago	I have a BSBA in accounting but with the current job market and the unhappiness with my current job, I have decided to pursue a job that has both intrinsic and extrensic rewards; a nursing home administator. I worked as a cook/pm supervisor in a home for seven years and I enjoyed it so I think this would be a good fit for me. I just sent off my application to the state of Missouri to qualify to sit for the exams and I am looking for good study material for both the state and federal exams. And I would like to find an AIT position in the Kansas City metro. Any guildance would be greatly appreciated. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (2) / No Reply - Report abuse
smn0423 in Long Beach, Mississippi 30 months ago	I'm a recent graduate with a Bachelor's Degree of Health Admin. I'm looking for an AIT program in New Orleans, Mobile, or anywhere in Florida. I know its a broad geographical range, but I'm planning on moving wherever I can find an opening. The catch is, I'm looking for a paid program. I've learned that some of the bigger companies pay you, then set you up with a job as a nursing home admin assistant. I'm having a hard time finding which companies these are. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks! - Was this comment helpful? Yes (3) / No Reply - Report abuse

Kevin Harris in Macclenny, Florida 29 months ago	Dear NHA seekers you need a minimum of a Bachelors degree and a university sponsored or State Board AIT program before you can sit for the National exam and the State exam(if required in the State you are seeking licensure). You need to check with the licensing Board in the State in which you want to get a license to make sure you fullfill all of the Board requirements (FL and CA are some of the most rigorous states for licensing). There are very few paid AIT position in the LTC field. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (2) / No Reply - Report abuse
