Why are CNA job applications like this?

I apply to a flex-pool, specifically for part-time and per diem, CNA job at big hospital chain. Jump through all the hoops, submit the online interview application video which takes a good hour to complete.

"Oh sorry, we only have one full-time position available. Would you like to discuss the position?"

Like really? Did I waste my time and it's like. Why didn't you say this on the application? Are they so desperate for workers they are trying to trick new-hires into full-time positions? Really.

What is it with big hospitals trying to pull this ***. The last job I left when they called me into interview, it wasn't even for the same position on the application I applied too! Then gas-lighted me during the interview like I didn't just study the damn job app right before I came in. I'm so frustrated.

Can anybody else relate? Or am I just crazy. ? This is at those big hospital chains where they have HR I assume making the job applications but it NEVER reflects what the hospital actually is looking to hire. It makes no sense to me.

Welcome to healthcare. Most upper management views you as a pawn and they will treat you like one. They do not respect or value you. Get ready for the BS now.
