Is lying the new norm?

[Hoosier_RN]

I have applied for a couple of DON positions at local home health companies and have been called for interviews. At 3 of the interviews, I find out that the DON position doesn't exist, they are just trying to get field nurses. They have even been brazen enough to say that its the only way to get any applications, as no one wants to be a field nurse anymore. My reply is simply "and you think lying like this is going to help get employees?". I then get up, gather my things and leave! Is this becoming the norm in nursing, all specialties//locations, or is it just home health, or my locale (south central Indiana)? Please tell me there is some honesty in hiring left in our profession.

i do not so understand DON position. but seems like in the place i worked, office position filled up fast by people already in this company. before i got hired, 5 field nurses left together either go office or resigned. also every time office position open, it got filled up next day by somebody. i did not realize field nurse was such a terrible position which my coworkers and friends told me after i started to work. plus i realized the place i worked is the worst part of this town.
