She emailed me stating that even though I didn’t have the required amount of experience she was looking for, she still wanted to interview me. During the interview, I stated that I’ve had a difficult time getting a position anywhere because I lacked experience working bedside and refused to go back to working at a hospital because it was traumatic for me. That’s not something I want for myself. Ironically, she asked how I was supposed to gain experience if no one would hire me. She then emailed me a few days later and said I wasn’t selected and “maybe you should go back to the hospital and gain experience”. I have a bachelors, excellent recommendations, and am willing to learn. She made me feel like I’m not worth anything because I was 1.5 years short for the experience she wanted. I do not understand calling me in, knowing I don’t meet the experience requirements, wasting my time, and making me feel small. That saying is true, nurses do eat their young.
