Can this situation cause the loss of my pharmacy technician license?

Asked by shpadoinkle_sue (7188points) December 15th, 2010

I’m dealing with a licensure issue that’s making really nervous. I’m currently a licensed pharmacy assistant in washington state and a not yet certified, but licensed pharmacy technician in oregon. Okay, the situation is the bloodborne pathogen/HIV class I originally took wasn’t long enough. I thought I was taking a four hour class and it was only a one hour course. It was a misunderstanding on the teacher’s part. He’s admitted that he didn’t understand what I was asking for. I’m sure that I was clear that I needed 4 hours in lecture. I was the only one there and so I didn’t question anything being out of the ordinary.

I’m taking an accredited course online that was given to me by the Washington state DOH tonight. I’ve got my externship to start when classes resume next year in the second week of January. I spoke to the pharmacist in town and she said that I might have to write a letter to the state Board of Pharmacy. I’m fine with that. I’m still nervous about getting my license revoked because of this whole situation. I never did anything to purposefully defraud the state board of licensures. Everything was, to my knowledge, truthful on my application. So, what I want to know from a professional point fo view is if I’m really screwed or not and what my options are. I’m sure of the next step that I have to take, but past that, I don’t know. I need to talk to my teacher, but I’d like to know what’s coming at me so that I can relax a bit and focus.

This is my chance to make things better for myself and I’m terrified of it getting taken away.
