Nurse Martin is an independent educational and editorial platform exploring subjects including health, nursing, science, leadership, humanity, faith, professional formation, and related topics.

Content may include:

• Essays and articles
• Educational publications and books
• Workshops and presentations
• Health and nursing education
• Professional reflections and commentary
• Downloadable educational resources
• Graphics, illustrations, photography, and multimedia
• Newsletters, social media content, and related communications

Content is provided for general educational and informational purposes. It is not intended to guarantee any particular educational, professional, personal, financial, clinical, or health outcome.

Health, nursing, neonatal, pediatric, wellness, and other clinical information appearing on NurseMartin.com is provided solely for general educational and informational purposes.

Nothing published through Nurse Martin is intended to:

• Diagnose a disease, injury, or health condition
• Provide individualized medical or nursing advice
• Recommend treatment for a specific person
• Establish a treatment plan
• Replace a physical examination or diagnostic evaluation
• Replace consultation with a qualified healthcare professional
• Direct emergency medical care

Healthcare decisions depend upon information that cannot ordinarily be obtained through a general website, including an individual's complete history, examination, diagnostic findings, medications, clinical circumstances, and the judgment of professionals directly involved in that person's care.

Clinical and scientific knowledge changes over time. Although reasonable efforts may be made to present accurate and evidence-informed information, no representation is made that every item will remain complete, current, applicable to every person, or free from error.

Accessing NurseMartin.com, reading or purchasing a publication, attending a workshop, downloading a resource, subscribing to communications, sending an email, commenting on content, or interacting through social media does not establish a provider–patient relationship or other individualized professional relationship with Martin W. Rivera Salas or Nurse Martin.

Communications submitted through the website, email, social media, comments, or other public or private messaging channels should not be used to obtain urgent or individualized healthcare advice.

Questions and communications may inform future educational content, but submission of a question does not create a duty to respond or provide individualized recommendations.

Unless otherwise identified, original content created for Nurse Martin—including original written works, publications, essays, photographs, illustrations, graphics, educational materials, audiovisual works, downloadable resources, and original website content—is owned by Martin W. Rivera Salas or used with authorization.

Applicable copyright and other intellectual property laws may protect qualifying original expression.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to prohibit uses independently permitted by applicable law, including applicable copyright exceptions and limitations.
