Nursing home administrator licensing, state by state.
What does each state require, and can your license move? This is the dated, sourced comparison nobody else publishes: Administrator-in-Training (AIT) hours, the education floor, which exams you sit, the fees, continuing education, and the reciprocity rule. Every figure links to its board page with the date it was checked. We sell no course.
2 jurisdictions verified so far. A state appears here only once its facts are confirmed against its own board and dated. States still being verified are left out rather than shipped thin, and the tools say so plainly for any state not yet listed.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Florida Florida Board of Nursing Home Administrators (Florida Department of Health) | Bachelor's degree | 650 to 2,000 hours by degree | National NAB + state exam | $755 | 38 hours, biennial | endorsement available |
