Thank you for your response, Unfortunately, on about 4 different interviews now, the interviewer has always asked for more details after I give my short, professional response. It corners me into a really awkward position where I then come off as dishonest as I try to beat around the bush.

Hi everyone, I graduated nursing school last year and started my first nursing job in March 2019 on a L&D unit. I had a terrible experience at this hospital involving bullying from older nurses and uncivil behavior from doctors. I tried so hard to push through but it reached a point where I was breaking down everyday before and after work. I resigned from the position in July. I have been applying to various types of nursing positions in my area and I have been having trouble answering the question "Why did you leave your last position after such a short time?" I have tried giving the positive/most professional answer by not throwing my last employer under the bus at all, but I have gotten the impression that the interviewer thinks I'm being dishonest. I have also tried telling a sugar coated version of the truth by saying "I didn't feel as supported as a new grad" but this also came off like I am a problem starter. What really is the best way to explain my situation where I can truly get them to understand where I'm coming from?
