How many weekends must an AIT serve during their training?

An Administrator-in-Training (AIT) is required to serve two weekends during their training. This requirement is in place to ensure that the AIT gains experience and exposure to the operations of a nursing facility during peak activity times, as weekends often present unique challenges compared to weekdays. This hands-on experience is crucial for developing the skills needed to effectively manage a facility, providing the AIT with a fuller understanding of the needs of residents and staff in varying circumstances. This training structure is designed to prepare them for real-world scenarios they will encounter as licensed administrators.
