I feel I've been banned unfairly. I shouldn't have started an argument I realise that. But I thought I was within the rules as posting as a health care professional [I'm a Health Care Assistant in a pharmacy and the particular question I answered was in the scope of drugs] plus I was told my advice was incorrect and dangerous when I know it was not

Not all health care professionals are allowed to post whatever they want just because they work in the health care field. What is outside of your particular scope of practice is giving advice. Do you give advice to clients or counsel them on meds in your job? No, the pharmacist does. Not only that, but you used your own experience to give the advice. Would you be allowed to do that in your job? Doubtful.

You say that you just felt the need to give your opinion? Ask_a_nurse is not an opinions community. It's a community where people come to get advice from nurses, not health care assistants who don't understand what scope of practice means. I'm glad that you'll be starting nursing soon - it will hopefully open your eyes and help you to understand why you were banned.

Your ban stands.

Sorry I meant give my opinion here.

But it's not outside my scope of practise. That's what my job is, giving advice about medications. And I didn't use my own experience at all I used to information I've been taught for my job.

*the information, not to information.

If you work in a pharmacy where unregulated health care providers give advice on medications, I fear greatly for your clients. You cannot learn adequately on-the-job to perform this function. How do they teach you pharmacology? Do you know anything about biochemistry and drug metabolism? How about anatomy, physiology, and pathology? You don't even know what you don't know

YOu were banned because you argued repeatedly in someone's question thread rather than taking it to the mods email or here, which you were told to do, TWICE.

After that, you took your whining to my personal journal (which it is definitely in the rules NOT to do). Both of the ways to contact the mods of aan are listed on my profile, so I really think that was not excusable either.

I'm really not interested in getting into a discussion about what your qualifications are, and what you are allowed to do with patients. Nor am I interested in discussing who is right or wrong about it being "fine" to give two drugs together. If you wanted that discussion, the time should have been right after your initial comment was deleted.

Your ban stands. Good luck with nursing school, you'll need it.

How did I take it to your personal journal?

God, I don't want to be unbanned, you're all too bitchy. o.O

Re: Mod

YOu sent me a message on my journal. Incidentally I couldn't even give you a reply to that because you have messages blocked.

Yeah, we're way too bitchy for you, so maybe you better go somewhere else.

There are some (really boring, hardly active) communities like ours that are run by some of the other unlicensed assistive personnel we banned for giving advice inappropriately. You might enjoy one of those.

Ah I didn't realise my messages were blocked, that wasn't on purpose.

I'm going to give up arguing now, I know I was right that's all that matters.
