AIT Program

I'm sorry to hear that...I am no longer pursuing this career either even though I really thought it was my calling. Most companies are purely profit-driven, which I have ethical issues with, and with further budgetary constraints and regulations, it's going to become a more and more difficult position. I think the fun when out of it about 10 years ago from the multitude of administrators that I have spoken to over the years. Good luck in your continued pursuit, if you continue to pursue!

HEATHER in Denver, Colorado said: Hey I am receiving my Bachelor's Degree and I want to know how did you intern with the Administrators, was it part of schooling something I havent done before. I know one company that does pay for AIT the company is pinon services at the facility i work at and they told me there company offers ait training and the anually rate was 60,000 a year but you had to have a 2 year contract, which was fine with me. See if there are pinon related facilities, and try to get a job there. good luck...original question was how did u get the intern...thanks

Did you have any luck getting an ait program at Pinon? I am trying to find one in the Denver area. Any help would be appreciated.

I have BS in Healthcare Management and would like some guidance in how to proceed with my career. Can someone please advise me on how to find an AIT program in the Dallas area, how many hours I have to do, and what is the next step? I would appreciate any and all the help I can receive.
Thanks!

I also am looking for a corporation that is willing to hire me and be a preceptor for the AIT program. I thought I was working with a corporation that had this option but after working with them for over 3 years, this is no longer an option.

Dionne Hunter in Detroit, Michigan said: I just put in for a position for the AIT program at HCR manorcare and they sent me a response saying that they appreciate my interest but they are going to continue their search. I have a bachelors in gerontology from Madonna U and I am in my grad program for Hospice. I have been in the gerontology field for over 17 years, so I am wondering what are the qualification that they are looking for.

They aren't. Manorcare hires friends only. Trust me. I worked with them via another facility. I have tried to get hired with manorcare before. Im actually looking to move out of state. "i got that response for a credentialing position i applied for, and I have 12 years experience"

I have a Masters in Health care Services Admin,but for years now i have not been able to secure a facility to train me, what license do you say that i require first,please kindly let me know what license and the procedure to achieve it.

Is it my understanding that you still have to complete a AIT program after your BS in Healthcare Administration. I currently live in virginia and on their Department of Health Website I thought it stated somewhere that our externships 200+ hours will justify the need for AIT. I have been in school for 4 years and still need to go another year AIT 2000+ hours? Someone please help with this.

According to the DHP AIT application for NH if you hold a Masters or B.S. in Health Admin degree you only have to complete 320hours for AIT program. Go to www.dhp.virginia.gov/nha/nha_forms.htm

Thanks!

Anybody, do you know where I can get my AIT done in the Metro Atlanta? All I need is 500 hours which I can get done in 6 months or less. I am also open to relocate to Florida too. Thanks you very much.

Franty;

You need to go to the website and check the list of the AIT approved site in your area and make contact with the administrator to see if he/she is a preceptor. Once you find an approved site and preceptor of the same building, you can then ask them if they will train you. In GA, it's 6 months of trainning (1000 hrs) with a Bachelor degree in healthcare related field, 500 hrs of tranning with a Master degree and 2000hrs of training without a college degree or a non health related degree. Good luck in finding a preceptor. It's not easy but doable.

Franty in Stone Mountain, Georgia said: Hi I was wondering if anyone has a list of all the preceptor sites in GA where I can contact for the AIT training? I went on the state site, they only give you the number of sites and preceptors but not the list. I have my masters in Health Administration and I want to sit for the board but first I want to go through the training. Somebody, anybody, HELP.... Thanks a million. Please email me at franty.cleophat@gmail.com.

Franty;

The list is on the website. I just checked it. There are lots of approved site in your area. You need to call and go there to speak with the administrator if he/she is an approved preceptor.

That unfortunately, will be the only response you ever get from them. My experience is....don't waste your time with them. There are better companies.

I agree. HCManorcare is not worth your time, experience, and effort. They are a thankless company that does not appreciate nor understand professionalism.

Vickie Allen in Nashville, Tennessee said: I am a Graduate from the University of pheonix with a bachelor of science degree in Healthcare Administration, would like the opertunity to use my applied knowledge with your company.

You should check your grammar then, Just saying.

I am in the Columbus, Dayton, and Cincinnati area of Ohio and I am looking for an AIT program. I have my MHA. I would appreciate any information anyone has regarding programs in my area.
Thank you!
