I know this question probably has other threads, but what is the worst job interview you've ever had? (Nursing or otherwise).

Went for an interview a week ago. Scheduled this interview a week before with HR after she asked the hiring manager if the position was still open. Day of the interview comes, and of course I am excited. Got ready, drove over an hour to get there, paid for parking, walked up to the unit and gave the hiring manager a smile and a strong handshake. She stated she would be right back and sat me in a room. A minute later she came back saying she just offered the position to someone else.
I was blown away! A call is a simple courtesy, especially since this interview was scheduled for a week. Even if it was the same day, it would have been better to receive a call saying to not waste my time. I asked if I could ask/answer some questions if a new position popped up. She haphazardly asked one question, then said that if I apply for another position she would just have to re-interview me anyway. Then asked if I had any questions about a completely different unit than the one I was applying for! I kept it professional and tried to ask at least two questions, but I was furious at that point. I left mentally preparing for the hour+ drive home after only being there 10 minutes at most.
So, I just posted to see if I could find others to relate to. Thanks for reading this rant!
