How to get AIT Preceptor or Liscenced in Florida

I have called everyone on the list that the Dept. of Health gives you...and there are no AIT preceptors on it. I have a Bachelors in Health Administration, and iam a liscenced Phlebotomist, i have also been in the nursing field for over 13 years as a CNA. I would love to do an externship as an AIT in Florida (Fort Myers). Help...someone!

I was an AIT preceptor with Beverly Enterprises and usually the big chains have preceptors. Have you researched the biggest chains (ie. Beverly Enterprises or google long term care chains and start making calls to see if they have an AIT program, which they should and submit your resume to them to see if you can get on board their AIT program. I had to try a one time in Southern California before I landed an AIT position in Central California. Good Luck.

I am not from this area in Florida. My recommendation to you would be to contact nursing homes in your area that are of interest to you. When I moved to Ocala, I contacted local administrators and they were very helpful in pointing me in the right direction. Personally, I would start with your local Florida Health Care Association President. She would probably be a great resource to what you are looking for. Here is her contact information:

Susan King, President
Rehabilitation & Healthcare Ctr. of Cape Coral

Good luck to you!
