Future Nursing Students Beware - I stronglty advise you to seek admittance at another program. Moorpark's Nursing program strongly discriminates on the basis of color, creed, heavy accent, and age. If you're not young and white or very, very sub-servient, or if for whatever reason they just don't like your personality - they will find a way to eliminate you. Unfortunately, the longer the instructor has been on staff, the more prevalent this abuse of power. I saw nine people eliminated in my time there, they were bright, mostly all "A" students, well liked by patients, as well as by the staff at hospitals they trained in clinical rotation. They were also enthusiastic and grateful for this opportunity, and because of that they were well liked by their fellow students. However, for reasons mentioned above, they weren't "acceptable" to the faculty at Moorparks R.N. Program. All cratively dismissed, but for reasons none could see, especially those students themselves. Of course none of us dared to stand up for these students lest our heads end up on the chopping block as well. What a shame, lost opportunities, lost skilled nurses when the need is so great, all because those in a position of power, abused that power, just because they could. Setting aside personal differences would have been, and is, the professional thing to do.
