There is some speculation that the respective curriculums may have some bearing on preparing students for registration and beyond. It is recommended that educational programmes designed for this student cohort should be mindful of this internal conflict and potential external hostility.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jan.13034","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,30]],"date-time":"2016-05-30T13:42:44Z","timestamp":1464615764000},"page":"2784-2793","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":54,"title":["Do student nurses experience Imposter Phenomenon?
