Stunned by Potential Employer

[oldenurselady]

I applied for a job and the facility contacted me for an interview. The interview was set up. During the process of setting the date, HR asked if I would consider another role. I declined because it is a more acute role and I do not want to work in that type of setting at this time. This was stated very clearly by me. 

I looked at the website and saw that the position I was supposed to interview for was no longer available.  My appointment was still there BUT for the other position that I had declined.  I contacted the recruiter and asked what had happened.  HR thought I was a better fit for this other position, so they switched it without asking me. I was really stunned. Has this happened to anyone else?
