Want out of medical/surgical nursing!!!!

No, no. I know no one is going to hire me as a traveler into a field I have no experience in. I am traveling to take a look at places I might want to live. I've found one such place twice now (Lancaster area of PA and Western WA state). I've had two hospitals now that I applied to online call me for interviews. Both told me on the phone there were opportunities outside of med/surge. When I go there, they offered me things like med/surge float poll or a specialized med/surge unit (renal m/s, GI m/s etc.....).
I want to be done traveling and go on as a full time staff nurse. Problem is, when people see my m/s experience, they try to stream me into that field. I got really upset with the HR person on my last interview. They told me they had opportunities in OR and ICU both. Then she said new grads were offered those positions first, but after I did one full year, I'd be eligeable to transfer to the specialty I wanted. What a joke.
It's laughable too, cause HR is earns HUGE points for convinceing someone to quit travel nursing and go full time with their facility as staff. You'd think they'd be more receptive to the fact that I want to be done with m/s.
