should I include this experience?Rating: (votes: 0) I would put it down. Just explain during the interview process if they ask why. It was a learning experience, and you caught the error, and had it corrected. No one is perfect - my first nursing interview I had no med errors. I was a new grad. 1 year lately, I have two tiny ones that I will be the first to tell you is my own fault, and they didn't harm the patient, and I had it corrected. Comment: You were terminated from your first job... for a med error.First of all.. shame on them.Secondly.. why would you include an employer of only 4 months.. where you did indeed make an error . ..that lead to dismissal?This should NOT show as an employment gap.. there would be NO need to explain.LEAVE IT OUT!Comment: Quote from AngelicDarknessI would put it down.

This includes collection of information needed to screen for "true identity".... which brings up your FICA history. So if the employer deducted FICA, it will show up when they run your SSN. It's much better to be honest in the first place than to try to explain why you were withholding information.
