open interview day

I like to share my flustrated experience with other nurses especially who are seeking for a job.
There was an advertisement of "open interview" from one of the top leading hospital in nyc.
It says "we are seeking experienced nurses for our new high acuity med/surg are with hotel-like amenties"
There was no conditions for example " BSN nurses only, or review your resume and call you by manager if you are currently in the BSN program." as they advertised.
However, things happened.....there were a lot of nurses waiting for their first cut from the secretary.
"What??!!" I thought "this is an open interview and whoever has an med-surg experience can come and have an interview"
There were some nurses who have turned down because of the hospital's hidden qualification in terms of hiring nurses.
Currently I am unemployed RN for about a year and I have 5 plus years of experience and I only have associated degree in nursing but will go to school in 2010.

These kind of economic situation, not only other gorup of workers but also we, nurses are having a tough time to find a job. I was trilled to have this great opportunity just having an interview.....

I am wondering why the hospital gave the faulse hope to nurses who were desperated and made me foolish to believe the so called "open interview days"....if i knew about this, i would not go there and i did not have to go through the emotions like angry or dissapointing.
"NO ONE DESERVES THAT"

this is the "new york-presbyterian the university hospital of columbia and cornell" ...so anyone who is interested in making a trip to there then be prepare for their two faces otherwise they will cut you off without any sympathy.

what do u think guys?

I agree with you but "open interview" is open to every nurses who have an experience in med/surg like they advertised. I may not get that job but should have the interview chance??
