Since quitting your contract, did you take another assignment with the same company, or have you had any trouble getting another job in your area. Do you include this assignment in your resume or tell future employers @ it. Just curious.....

I was only on my travel assignment for @ 5 days then I cancelled the contract because I felt it was unsafe for my license and patient's safety. When looking for future employment, I do not include this job in my resume. My question is this-when future employers do a background check on me-will a job this short come up on me. How do I approach this-do I bring it up in future interviews? Do I list it on my resume? Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.

I took my 1st Travel assignment @ a week ago and I knew within a few days that I felt like I was putting my nursing License on the line as well as my patients safety on the line and I just wanted out of the contract. My recruiter said it would not look well with the company and I would probably not be working with them anymore. I was OK with that since I knew I just wanted out of the contract, and this was only an interim job for me and not a long term job. My recruiter also made the comment/innuendo that this would probably affect my future employment in the area and that I would be "burning bridges" in the area- as he put it. The area where my assignment was is not too far from home and my question is whether this was just a SCARE tactic that he was using, or whether this would affect my future nursing employment in the area-outside of travel nursing of course, because I will never do that again. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
