I have always appreciated the listings that divide the list between the "must haves," even soft ones (e.g. 4yr degree, knowledge of X tool, Y years of experience, solid communication skills), and "our ideal candidate will have most of the following" (e.g. Y+3 years of experience, prior role in management, knowledge of Z regulation).
The 4 year degree one is still never a must have. The only things that are true must haves are certifications for federally regulated jobs, like requiring a PE.
There are things they actually care about enough to throw out your resume on pre-screen though. That’s de facto required for that particular job.
I was going to say; the OP is something I feel on a deep spiritual level but the worst part is that there are still some things that are 100% required to the extent that falsifying them can lead to being charged with a crime. Even as a nurse I have a license that I sat through board exams for and if I'd tried to apply to jobs saying I was licensed before I was I could have picked up charges.
There are nursing jobs you can get between graduation and sitting for the NCLEX (it can take a few months to get scheduled and if you schedule before graduation then don't graduate there's a cancelation fee) but those jobs say so explicitly in the listing and the title of the listing usually says something like "New Graduate Residency Program" and specifically say somewhere that continued employment is contingent on passing the boards. Some places also have "nurse internships" where you work essentially as a CNA for your last 1-2 semesters. There's this big "nursing shortage" (there's actually a nursing pay and safe working assignment shortage but we won't get into that right now) so a lot of places have strategies like this to snap us up ASAP right outta graduation when we still have a fresh desire to ~*save the world*~ and no standards yet. After about a year we start caring about silly nonsense the hospital doesn't like like safe staffing and not getting beaten to death by a veteran who picked up dementia and other cognition altering illnesses from all the drugs they did to deal with the PTSD.
The upside is that once you have a license and especially after you have that first year of experience, getting hired is pretty easy. I in particular work in a very high demand specialty that I have a ton of experience in so I can basically know I'm getting a job offer if I put in even the barest effort (I've definitely also applied to jobs where I just wanted to know more about the position and see if it was something I might like, but me and the interviewer usually know by the end that it's not going to be my cup of tea). But I actually super recently made a gratitude post to c/nursing about how nice it is to not be getting jerked around by employers in this shitty economy.
