What would you do?

Published

I am applying for a new position and debated leaving it off my resume, since I have only been there 3 months. However, I dont want that to catch up with me later. I am not sure what to put in the "reason for leaving" spot. I dont want to sound like I am not flexible, because I am new and know I need to pay my dues. I dont mind working nights or days, but I cant do the rotation anymore. I need one or the other. I am also looking for a safer enviroment with safer staffing levels (dont want to risk my license). Should I put "not a good fit" or leave it blank and explain in person?

Instead of focusing on why your leaving, focus on why you or going somewhere else for example:

Lets say that you are working med surg and while working you discovered that you really enjoy and find that you are very good at working with cancer patients. So you are not really leaving your current position, your simply seeking a position that better suits you and allows you to be the best nurse you can be.

Reason for leaving: Not challenging enough :)
