You are stuck between a rock and a hard place here, especially in today's job market. Companies don't want to waste the time and money training someone that may walk out the door a short time later. What you can try is being completely honest and upfront about it, but with a little more "sugar coating" on it. Stick to the basics, don't name any names. i.e.:

"The environment was hostile and the majority of my co-workers were overprotective of what they considered "their" turf". (Have a good explanation for this if you are asked what you mean by "turf"!)

"The company required more job skills than were mentioned in the interview". I felt uncomfortable not being able to perform those additional functions, and no additional training was offered when I requested it".

"I was told the job did not require overtime, but was tasked with it anyway". (This may be an outright lie, but they have no way of checking) Also add the following line: "I informed them during the interview process that I had a small child, and was unable to work additional hours".

With these as a start, you should be able to come up with something. Just remember not to mention any names, or disparage a specific occupation or department. Don't try to give them the run-around on anything they may be able to check. And when speaking with a new interviewer, any time you used a reason for leaving, ask if that will be a problem with this position. (Don't say "If I get the job. Big no-no.) For every reason you give for leaving, make sure you ask the question. It will show sincerity and honesty.

Tell them that your old job had a negative environment that did not promote well-being and stressed out the employees.

Also, how were you a college-age hospital administrator? Make sure that you put your actual and accurate title on your new resume.
