would you?

If you had all your ducks in a row and felt you were a good canidate, CCRN cert. worked a yr. in C.C. would you apply to a program that specificly states "rarely is someone invited for an interview with only 1 yr C.C. experience in ICU"? They want expert clinicians. But if you've planned every momment from the time you graduated nursing school to get the extra science courses, CCRN cert. would you do it? Just curious if there was a hidden message in their statement. After finishing everything I need to do, I'll have 1 1/2 yrs experience when applying ,closer to two if and when excepted. Just wondering if applying before I have two yrs. under my belt would be a waste of time because they state it on their website.
