Employment

no, u didn't even finish orientation or probation. that time is a trial for both the RN and employer. 

It's always better to be upfront.  In any interview, they'll ask about gaps in your resume.  

I wouldn't list it. You were there a very short amount of time and It shouldn't look like a work gap on your resume because lots of people graduate nursing school, take boards and then don't start work right away because they can't get employment. So an employer isn't going to be asking about a gap in your work history.

I'm also a recent graduate. I only had a 30-day job before I was let go because I wasn't progressing quickly enough for the team. An attorney advised me to list the job and send the state nursing board a form letter she provided me, explaining my termination. This was to protect myself. I sought legal advice because I was just graduating and starting my career as a new RN. I've worked incredibly hard to obtain my license, and I wouldn't want to jeopardize my career or my nursing license because I didn't receive the necessary orientation and training. I'm not sure if this information will be helpful to you, but I wish you the best of luck. 

I've been a nurse in many facilities, hospitals, nursing homes, including agency. Unfortunately, one or two facilities really doesn't work out well for many reasons, bullying, unfair treatment, not getting paid correctly are the top reasons for me. I don't list facilities I worked for if under a year since I've had 16 years of nursing experience and most places never asked me. The one and only place I've been thoroughly done a background check is one hospital I recently worked for. And I explained why I left and stated my above reasons. But if you're a new grad, you can decide if you list or not. I think nowadays, nurses are needed everywhere. Good luck to your endeavors and hope you find a place that will treat you well and you learn and grow.

I've been an RN for 30 yrs. I have worked for several places that were short term for whatever reason and I didn't/don't list them on my resume. I've had background and employment credit checks ALWAYS and have never had issues.

People often ask about their resume and what they have to put on it as if that is an official document for notifying a prospective employer of your work history. It isn't. Your resume is your own personal marketing tool. 
 

Your application is another matter, at least in the eyes of the prospective employer. Leave whatever you want to off of your resume. However there definitely are employers who will terminate the application/hiring process if they discover work history that you omitted from your application, especially if they specifically asked you to provide a particular length of work history on the application.  And you often have to check a box stating that the information you have given is true and complete to the best of your knowledge.

... Pay attention to employment application work history section, often request last 10yrs. employment and signature sections to avoid application being rejected by HR.

And for those willing to risk leaving short periods of employment off their application.  If a previous employer uses a third party service such as Equifax's The Work Number to provide post employment history, your work history will be available; regardless length.

I've been an RN for 30 yrs. I have worked for several places that were short term for whatever reason and I didn't/don't list them on my resume. I've had background and employment credit checks ALWAYS and have never had issues. I've had one job show up on an employment credit check and that is a job from very early in my career.

If you were to complete a job application that asked you to list all employment over the last 10 years, would you leave them off there as well?
