Re: Should I Add This on my Resume?
I would probably put it on my resume...just explain in interviews that it just wasn't a good match for you. It is much better to be honest than to have something come back to haunt you later on. I was hired to work PRN in an LTC...my first night of orientation, I was put on their Alzheimer's unit alone because the person who was supposed to be working there got in a fight with one of the residents. I woke everyone up on rounds because I had no idea who was continent and who wasn't, who needed help repositioning, etc. Then one of the charge nurses from another unit CHANGED MY CHARTING! I almost didn't go back. My second night of orientation, I was handed a set of keys and the regular nurse curled up in a recliner and slept. I didn't go back after that.
When I have interviewed since, I add it to my resume and applications and note that I left because I was denied appropriate orientation.
