Need an advice

Im a new USRN but has 2 yrs emergency room experience in another country. I just started working as an ER nurse in one of the hospital here in US almost 3 months. The problem is it is so overwhelming for me, the management is dysfunctional like I have to keep on running after them just to get my work schedule (they would keep on passing me to different people who will make my schedule) and their training to me was not good because they gave me a preceptor who is not nice and the other one loves to humiliate me in front of patients (I did not request to change my preceptor because Ive heard rumors someone did it before and she got fired or people hated the new nurse. They told me I will have training for 12 weeks but changed it to 6 wks, and too much gossip and politics in there), documentation requirement is too much,and I am just always sad knowing I have to work there.My health is getting crazy because of this stress, I am not like normal people because I am a person who needs medications and doctor's check up every six month. I am planning on applying in an office job as a nurse/ ambulatory setting where stress is less. My question is should I put on my resume that I worked in this hospital for 3 months? If I put it on my resume what is the best reason I should give during interview? Or do I just have to not say it on my resume?

Thank you guys!

    I have noted on my past resumes that I have worked places for as little as two months, abu123- my first LPN job at a LTC facility and a small stint as an RN in OR at a second hospital where I worked.

    I left the first LTC job because I was offered a position as at a hospital as a psych LPN. I left the second position in OR because I didn't like them and they didn't like me.

    When the DON of the third hospital where I was applying, and eventually got the position, asked me why I left the second hospital, I merely replied, "It just didn't work out".

    Experience is experience, as far as I'm concerned. And a little experience is better than none.

    Good luck to you abu123!

    Resumes show you at your best, job applications are required to be complete. So you can leave certain entries off your resume, but you need to include them on an application. Three months is kind of a long time to leave off. Take Davey’s advice and list it. If asked, say what Davey said. You don’t have to give a play by play run down of everything that was wrong to get your point across.

    If you want to condense everything in your post into two single words, it would be called, "unresolvable conflict."

    When asked by a prospective employer why I left a previous position from which I was fired, I said, "It was a consensual agreement".

    They wanted to fire me and I didn't want to work there anymore.

    No more questions asked and I got the job!
