Resume Dilemma

I have a resume "content" dilemma. I worked for Employer A as a Med/Surg RN for 15 months and left in March '15 for Employer B. I was with Employer B for about 3 months and resigned (job wasn't as described and I wasn't on the shift I was told). I was rehired by Employer A but in a different department. I have been in this department for almost 4 months. I enjoy the nursing aspect of this position very much but the daily productivity pressure to perform is unrelenting and I am miserable. Plus I may not be retained because of productivity issue. The question I have is should I omit Employer B on my resume and if asked, simply state I left Employer A for personal reasons and was rehired by Employer A later? I don't want it to look like that I will leave a new employer after 3-4 months because I don't plan on it.

    Employer B is going to show up in your background check because a routine SSN check is part of the data that is required by the Feds for any organization that receives Fed reimbursement (Medicare, Medicaid, etc). They do this check to prevent identity theft &/or employment of imposters. So - when you have payroll deductions, the employer's info is associated with your SSN & it will turn up on background checks. If the information you provide (application) does not align with the background check, you'll have some 'splaining to do. In many organizations, it would be considered falsification of your application & grounds for termination.

    I will second HouTX's comment.

    I think the best way is to put your Company A as your most recent employer but list the first dates you were with them and the current dates right next to it. Then list Company B. Someone will ask you why you left each position no matter if you were there 15 months or 15 years. Be honest and truthful because the new employer will find out eventually and it looks way worse if there are conflicting accounts.
