I find it really discouraging for nurses to say things like this to our future colleagues. As a graduate of the accelerated program myself, I found this negativity to be common. Some nurses may angry this program exists because it took them for 4 years to complete their degree, while others have the opportunity to do it in 2. What they don't consider is that almost all of those accepted into the CTF program already have at least one degree. Also, many of the CTF graduates will be combining their degrees to move up the latter and become hospital administrators, NPs, etc. Some may feel threatened by this new crop of highly motivated and intelligent nurses who will likely hold positions of authority aka be their boss.
