when they first notify you via email, they want to know what race you are, what gender because big companies get tax credits for certain demographics they hire. and if you don't have a BSN you are wasting your time, of course they can't come out and tell you this, it's illegal, but that is their hiring practices. how do i know this? a CEO for a pharmaceutical company told me this. **so you don't necessarily get hired for your experience**** i have over 35 years experience and have applied to many positions i am well qualified for. then they call you and ask questions that do not highlight your Nursing experience
