That's a tough spot to be in, I'm sorry.
Yes, presenting yourself in the best light on your resume is important, but it's also important to avoid dishonesty.
Leaving it Off
Leaving it In
If you decide to keep a job on your resume where you only worked for three months, chances are you'll be asked about it during interviews.
If possible, secure a new job before quitting your current one. It is easier to land a job when you're employed than when you're not.
Best wishes on your decision,
Nurse Beth

I started a new job in December, and I hate it. After 2 months, I'm ready to leave. I believe I will be in my third month before I get hired for a new job. I want to know if I need to include this job on my resume. If I do include it, what could I say about the reason I am ready to leave so soon? Will this job show up in a background check?
