Looking for AIT/Intern position

I'm glad to know that i am not the only individual that feel this way. Thanks for replying. I did find an AIT program in Indiana, colorado, and kansas, so i will attempt to apply for one of these if i cant find anything here in Arizona.

Ade Jagun in York, Pennsylvania said: I have a PhD in social science field. I have several advanced expertise and skills in finance, budgeting and accounting. I have attended and completed the Nursing Home Administator's course requirements in the state of Penssylvania. I have also recently completed the course training reqirements for personal home care admninistrator.
I am looking for a facility that could give me an opportunity to fulfill the 1000/600 hours of training/intern that would enable me sit for the Board.
I am particularly interested in PA but also DC area.
I would not mind doing this partly as a volunteer since I am still employed as a Financial IT Consultant.
Thanks.

I am looking for the same position AIT program in New York, please let me know if you know of any. Thanks

I am at the moment out of work but I am working on my Associate's Degree in Business Management majoring in HealthCare. I am looking for a job but it isn't easy right now with so many people out of work at the present time but I am persistent and I will find something. I want to work with the elderly as I find that very comforting. I would like to know what courses I have to take or what I have to do to take the Administrator's Exam without actually working at a facility. If there is such a thing do I then have to be in training for a period of time before I actually get my license. Please let me know whatever you can that will help me in my quest.
Thank You so Much

The requirements for licensure are allocated differently by state. In Ohio, you are required to complete 1000 hours of an AIT with a bachelor degree or 600 hours with a master's. In addition, there are core courses that are required from Ohio State University. You must attain a successful score on the national and state exam for licensure. The minimum requirement for eligibility is a bachelor degree.

I have a diploma in licensed practical nursing, a BA in general studies, and an MS in leadership strategy. The field is competitive, and I would recommend that you attempt to find a position that gives you experience while you continue your education. In a nursing home, you may attempt to apply for an admissions assistant position. This may help you get started. Best of luck!

I am looking for an AIT program in North Carolina. I have a list of preceptors but it seems to be difficult to find one interested. I have two graduate and two undergraduate degrees. Looking to make a career change. I also have a CNA I license (although I only used it during the summer before going back to college). I would be grateful for any help!

Have you looked in to HCR MannorCare or Heartland, which ofer AIT program. Keep in touch.

Hi, I am also looking for AIT program in New York State. I have a master degree in nutrition and graduate certificate in long term health care adminstration. I have worked in long term care facility for the past 15th years, and currently living in lower part of Hudson valley. I needed 6 months internship in AIT program, please let me know if any one knows of the facilty that have this program. Thanks Shamsi

I am still trying to arrange for an AIT position in Western NY. I think the best bet is to contact the administrators at various nursing homes directly. The state of Dept. of Health can't really help in NY. They have no list of facilities that have taken on AIT's in the past. They want us to find the AIT positions and then after getting the facility to take us on we have to hope the state will approve it. Seems backwards to me but....good luck, and again, try contacting any and all facilities with in the area you hope to stay in.

I myself found an adminstrator that allowed me to work as his assistant to get my training. But i do know that Life Care Centers of America offers the AIT programs; there is one facility in Indiana, so you can check there. Go on line an pull up there info. Good luck.

Thanks, I will. Shamsi

Thanks for your reply, I will try. Shamsi

Good evening everyone I actually wanted to see if anyone had any information to give me regarding how I would be able to land a health administrator position. I was looking at the requirements for Colorado and it states that all is needed to be a licensed Healthcare administrator is by having an associates degree. I was quite shocked I also thought you had to have a Bachelors degree. I guess some states have different requirements. I guess my question is do you think that an employer will offer you a AIT program without saying you don't have expierence?

I am looking for an AIT posisiton in the Columbus, Ohio area. I have earned my MBA and was previously employed by a SNF. After working in manufacturing I realize that I would really like to go back into long-term care, so this will be a career change. Please let me know of any possible opportunities.

I am looking for a facility that could give me an opportunity to fulfill the 1000/600 hours of training/intern that would enable me sit for the Board Exam. I've just graduated with a masters in Healthcare Amnistration from UNLV, and I want to do the AIT program ASAP. Let me know if you have any info.
Thanks

I am looking for an AIT position in Pennsylvaia, possibly Delaware County or Philadelphia area. I would like to find a facility who would allow me earn my intern hours but also allow me to earn a salary. I've worked as a CNA for 8 years, an LPN for 10 years. I have an Associates Degree in Heathcare Management and will graduate in April 09 with a Bachelor's in Business Administration/Management. I will be heading directly back to school for my Master's in Healthcare Administration.

Lemel, did you obtain a list of approved preceptors from the Board? This is a good place to start. You can also post a notice on the FHCA website. www.fhca.org

C in Tampa, Florida said: I understand your frustration with the entire ordeal. Have you ever considered asking the internship director at your former university to seek out a nursing home that will be willing to accept you as an AIT. It makes sense to strive for your Bachelor's as well as Master's degree because no one can take that education from you. I too am in the Masters program with my concentration being in Gerontology and I have had a wonderful experience as an AIT here in Tampa under the care of a nursing home administrator is knows his job.
As one individual mentioned, it is whom you know and not what you know that makes this industry a cut throat one.
Continue looking for preceptors and you just may come across one who is willing to take you in during January of 2008. Start early, it surely helps.

Hello C,
I am currently trying to find a preceptor in the Tampa area. I will be graduating with my Masters in Health Administration on May 9th. Do you think that your preceptor would be willing to talk with me?

I graduated 2 years ago with a BS in Health Care Administration and got my FL NHA Lic. in March. Instead of doing an AIT (1000 hrs) that you most likely won’t get paid for, I did a 120 hr internship that was accepted by the state board. I would recommend to those of you who are going to school to enroll into a course that is strictly an internship. It takes less time and satisfies the sanctions to qualify to sit for the exam.

I'm on here reading about all of these people looking for AIT programs and say they have experience, they worked in a rehab setting, blah blah blah- why are you not using your connections? When I was looking for an AIT, I had 2 offered to me within one week of getting the word out there that I was interested. I've worked in Admissions/Marketing (which by the way is probably some of the BEST experience you can get if you're looking to get your feet wet) for about 2 years since graduating with my undergrad in Health Sciences/Geriatrics. I called up a friend at another facility, told her I was looking for an AIT position, and she said she'd see if her administrator needed one. The next day I had an interview and was offered more money than I make in admissions to do the AIT. I went back to my own boss, let her know of the situation, and she got me all the information needed to do an AIT within our own company.
I guess I'm just curious how people can say how qualified they are to take the boards, when obviously you don't understand how business actually works.

Please let me know what you know about A.I.T. programs in Mississippi or Louisiana. I have seen the list of preceptors for Mississippi. In Louisiana you may or may not get paid. In MS, you have to be hired by the company. Any suggestions on where to start?

I to have my BSHA and am looking for an AIT position. I contacted the state and got the list most of the information they gave me was wrong. I did get a few responses though; however, with the economy most companies have a hiring freeze on. In response to this I have continued as a CNA and continue to work and go to school until I can find one. I am continuing my education by taking my MBA with a core in healthmanagement. So if anyone outthere has another suggestion I would appreciate it.

I have been looking for an AIT program to get into and have had no success. They want you to have experience before they accept you. I have thirty years plus in the medical field plus my BS degree in LTC. Anyone out there that could help me? I am will to relocate.

I have been working for the health care system for the last 20 years too, I do not want to lose my job what I am doing, that will make it more difficult.

I am trying to get my Nursing home license in any state that will be willing to offer a preceptor program. I have checked out Arkansas and you dont need to have a AIT Program you can sit for the state exam there if you have experience in a nursing home setting.

I live in Michigan and I am search of an AIT program where I can gain experience as a nursing home administrator. I sit for the exams on 8/1/09 but I would still like to gain experience in long term care. If anyone is aware of anything please let me know. Thank you!

I am currently starting my search into AIT programs in Indiana, specifically in Indianapolis. Does anyone know of any programs in the area?

Thank you

Have you had any luck in your search for an AIT program. I read that Martin University has paired with the Indiana Health Care Foundation, however, it is only for minority students. I was going to contact the Professional Licensing agency, but didn't know how helpful they will be.

Pastor Daniel in Huntsville, Alabama said: There is a great book out there and it's: The Cry of Obbama's Daughters. Go to
www.authorhouse.com
or any bookstore to buy your own copy.

The Cry of Obbama’s Daughters is an exiting and inspiring story of two crying daughters, Omilia and Omisha who have been thrown in the political arena by their two politicians- parents, Obbama and his wife, Omichella. They exposed their daughters’ privacy in their pursuit of self-actualization to make world history by becoming the first African American president and the first female black to be the First Lady of USA.

Obbama said that he would destroy all gas stations and build air station for Air-Car in USA to end the gas dilemma.

Obbama’s words are characteristic traits of kingship and his actions are inborn habits inherited from his ancestors.

What if Obbama was a prince, would he be claiming to be king?

In the book, Obbama is a prince of the Kenyist kingdom that was destroyed by two wicked nations. Becoming an orphan after the death of his parents, he lost his identity and was trapped with his family in USA until her daughters revealed him his identity through their dreams and adventures.

Obbama’s daughters met with the most powerful beings of the universe in quest for clues to decode the mystery of their father. Theirs journeys are colored with tears, actions and…

This book is the drama of the era, the most successful story written in a new genre and it’s based on facts, history, love, adventures and sciences.

It’s in English with a French translation as a BONUS. Children, colleges, universities and ESOL students will find it resourceful.

This book is still in rearrangement. Do not hesitate to criticize my work. Email me at: americandreamsfoundation@yahoo.com

Hello,

I live in Southwest Florida, and am looking for an administrator-in- training program in the Port Charlotte/Punta Gorda or Fort Myers areas. I reside in Charlotte county. I am currently a student in a masters program in heath administration and would like to become licensed as a nursing home administrator in the state of Florida. If there is anyone who is able to help me gain such experience, I will be more than happy to forward my resume and other credentials. Thank you.

Hi. I am a recent graduate with bachelors in Health Sciences from ohio state. I would like to be Nursing Home Administrator. How many hours of AIT will I need before I can give exam in ohio with Bachelors in Health Sciences?

Hi. I also graduated with Bachelors in health sciences/geriatrics 2 years ago from ohio state. Can you suggest or tell me how and where should I look to find a AIT position as I have decided that I want to become nursing home administrator. I have 2 years of business experience but no healthcare experience as I was not able to find any job.

I was wondering if someone can help me network with a Preceptor in the Ocala,fl or Orlando area so that I can get into an AIT program. I just finished my BS- Business Administration but I am doing my master's at Webster U. Just started last monday but I thought it would be a good idea to gain that experience while I am doing my master degree which is in Health Admin. I am also looking for a good review book for the NAB exam so if anyone can help, it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you and good day.

Sincerely,

Juliano

I was wondering if anyone has any information as to where I could find a predeptor in the local Las Vegas Nevada area? I will be graduating with a Bachelors degree in Health Administration-Long term Care and want to be a licensed administrator. I found a lady that is willing to accept me, but until I get something in writing or saying that it is approved then I'am looking for other options. I guess you can say plan B. I'am graduating in February 2010 from the University of Phoenix so if anyone has information as to where I can start looking it will be appreciated. I have called around to different nursing homes and it seems that none besides the lady that I spoke with has any such program. So anything will help. I have nursing home expierence and healthcare expierence for 10 yrs.

Seeking an AIT in Indiana. I have a Masters degree with experience in accounting and computer applications.

You may want to look At Life care centers of America they were at one while offering AIT program. Hope this helps.

I have not had any luck in my pursuit of an AIT program either. I interviewed with a company in Kansas and I have been bugging their office with phone calls. I am told due to the economy the person I interviewed with is now doubling as an acting administrator. We can only hope something positive happens soon.

Hi Pamela,

I wish you luck in finding that match. I know what you mean by it being a struggle about finding an AIT program I know of a couple of companies here say that they do it but when you try to look further into it then then say that they don't have any open positions. It like how does a person gain that experience if no one is willing to assist someone in pursuing their career goals. I know it can be frustrating, but just hang in there. Hopefully something will open up for you

Hi there,

I can truly say that finding an AIT program has really been hard, alot of places are stating they are doing them any more because of the budgets. So i my self just decided to take my state licensing exam and work from that. I want to know if any one can give pointers on how to study and pass the NAB exam.

I am looking for a Nursing home Administrator in Training program to gain my license in FL,NC,TN or ARK. I am currently working on my Ph.D in Public Policy. I have taken course work in Health Service Administration and would like to get the proper training in this profession so i am able to succeed. The process here in GA is taking so long and no nursing home really are producing preceptors in the area.

erin where offers this 120 hrs internship?

UCF has a course that offers the internship option but you are responsible for finding a facility.

Erin G in Apopka, Florida said: UCF has a course that offers the internship option but you are responsible for finding a facility.

Thanks for the hint, but that kind of defeats the point in finding an AIT in the first place. In that, I mean, it has been really hard to get one any where.

I wrote my congressman and state representatives last week to help. So far, I have gotten feedback, but no calls. But it has only been one week, so I am waiting still.
