at and in

What is the difference in the usage of "at" and "in"? In which cases can "at" stand for "in"? For example: "I work in a hospital." or 'I work at a hospital." Can I say both of them or not?

It's too general a question. It would take weeks to explain.

With "work" either _at_ or _in_ is possible.
Both "I work in a hospital" or 'I work at a hospital" are correct.

Think of "at" as a point in time or space and "in" as a container.

As said above either can be used in your example.

This is also possible:

I'll see you in Stockholm. (A city as a container.)
I'll se you at Stockholm. (A city as a point in space.)
