Should I add this to my resume? Previous orientation?

Published

Hello, when I began nursing I first orientated in the Transplant ICU. At the time the floor was merging with another floor and I did not anticipate the challenges this would bring.

After 10 weeks it was deemed not a good fit and I was able to transfer to another floor in the same hospital. Should I include this on my resume? My time there was not a loss, as I did learn quite a bit and have taken the experience with me.

A bit of background on what happened:

Merging of two floors

New nurse educator

6 preceptors in 10 weeks - only 1 having over a year experience

Total orientation was to be 12 weeks

Personality did not fit

Issues were centered around charting not patient care

Overall not a good fit for me but left amicably and remain in the same hospital

I have now been a nurse for 1 1/2 years and I am planning on relocating.

Thanks for any input - and I didn't mean to make this sound like a one-sided issue.

I would say no. That was short period of time, that I think you can skip it.
