Say you worked for a hospital network but 2 hospitals and quit/forced to resign the second hospital two months into the job, how would you list it?

X Hospital Network
September 2010-June 2013

X Psychiatric Hospital
April-June 2013
X Community Hospital
September 2010-March 2013

Why were you forced to resign? Was it not a good fit?

Unless the psych hospital experience is especially relevant to the job and/or leaving it off would create an unexplainable gap in employment, i would just leave it off my resume and just put down the community hospital experience. Otherwise i would list it like you have it listed.

I would leave it off the resume. 2 months is an internship not a job.

A case of an assistant director, an operations manager, a lead pharmacist, and other pharmacists all telling me different ways of doing things, and looking/being tired at work (they thought I was moonlighting at another job, I was just out partying until 3AM and coming into work on 3 hours of sleep everyday, I figured I could survive on 3 hours sleep for the probationary period before starting the overnight shift), and what I figure was the real reason, trying to organize/talk the pharmacists into joining the union.

Don't break it up into the different hospitals correct?

My lord...anyway, don't bother breaking it up. It'll just invite questions.

Looking/being tired at work is 90% of what I do.

After all these years, you still fail to disappoint, @Sparda29

Yeah, as a rule of thumb, if you didn't work for a day for 90 days, don't put it on your resume. Now, when a future employer does a background check, they might see that you worked there so I would have a cover story. But it is better to say that you spent 2 months searching for a job rather than say that you worked for a place for 2 months and got fired.

Anything less than a year always looks suspicious, but two months? We talkin about practice?

As soon as I left that place, I started working full-time at one of my per-diem gigs so I was never out of employment.
