No? Why not?...did I hear someone say Qualifications? However who is to say that the Checkout Operator might have a degree in Accounting or a Stockbrokers License! Therefore what we should be asking is....did you ASK what qualifications they had to give you that advise? or did you just ASSUME that becasue they were giving you advise, they knew what they were talking about.
As a Health Care Professional myself (Nurse) I have to abide by what we call a Scope of Pactise, I have to confine my shared knowledge to that which comes under the heading of my Licensed tital. Scope of parctice is defined as....
Scope of practice
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Scope of Practice is a terminology used by national and state/provincial licensing boards for various professions that defines the procedures, actions, and processes that are permitted for the licensed individual. The scope of practice is limited to that which the law allows for specific education and experience, and specific demonstrated competency. Each jurisdiction has laws, licensing bodies, and regulations that describe requirements for education and training, and define scope of practice.
In most jurisdictions, health care professions with defined scope of practice laws and regulations include dietitians, respiratory therapists, nursing, midwifery, emergency medical technicians (EMT), pharmacists, social workers, physicians and surgeons, clinical officers and physician assistants, dentists and dental hygienists, chiropractors, occupational therapists, osteopaths, physical therapists, speech and language pathologists, audiologists, radiographers, podiatry , Biomedical Scientists and nuclear medicine specialists."
So....next time you're on the recieving end ask yourself...."What Qualifications does this person have to give me this advise?"
