Community Guidelines

Last updated: November 7, 2026

LinkInCare is a professional community for nurses, nursing assistants, home health aides, therapists, advanced practice providers and the health-care-related advertisers that want to reach them. These Guidelines explain how we expect everyone to behave here. They apply to CareMembers and to advertisers and their team members. They are part of the Terms of Use and the Advertiser Agreement, so breaking them is also breaking your agreement with us. We apply them at our discretion, and they do not create any duty that we owe to you or to anyone else, or any right for a third party to enforce them.

  • Be honest about who you are and what you offer.

  • Treat colleagues the way you would on a good shift: with respect.

  • Never post anything about a patient.

  • Keep your personal contact details out of public posts.

  • Share what helps: career advice, wellness tips, questions, wins and lessons learned.

  • Report what does not belong here, and let us handle it.

This is the one rule with no exceptions. Do not post, comment, upload or send anything that identifies a patient or could identify one, even with the name removed. That includes:

  • Names, initials, photos, dates of birth, ages with other details, room or bed numbers, record numbers, addresses, phone numbers.

  • Diagnoses, medications, test results, care plans or visit details tied to a person.

  • Stories, screenshots or images from a chart, a monitor, a care app or a patient's home.

  • "Guess who" posts and vents that describe a patient closely enough for a coworker to recognise them.

Our filters are designed to block common patterns such as labeled dates of birth, record numbers and room numbers, and we remove patient information when we find it, but no filter catches everything and you remain responsible for what you post. Posting patient information is a serious violation. It may also break the law and cost you your license, whatever we do. If you need to talk about a hard case, keep it general: the kind of situation, what you learned, how you coped.

  • No harassment, bullying, threats or intimidation.

  • No hate speech or slurs about race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability or any other characteristic. Our filters are designed to catch slurs in several spellings and languages, including attempts to disguise them.

  • No sexual content, graphic violence or shocking images.

  • No doxxing: do not post anyone's private information, including a colleague's or a manager's.

  • Disagree with ideas, not with people. Criticism of an employer, an advertiser or a practice is allowed when it is honest and specific; abuse is not.

Do not put your phone number, email address, messaging handle or "DM me" invitations in posts, comments, your bio or your headline. Our filters are designed to refuse them. LinkInCare has a safe way to share your contact details with an advertiser: answer "I'm interested" to its campaign or accept its contact request. That way you control who gets your details and you can stop sharing at any time.

  • Do not post the same thing again and again, or coordinate with others to flood the feed.

  • Do not sell products, courses, credentials, exam answers or services in the feed.

  • Do not charge CareMembers for anything, and do not ask them to pay you to find work.

  • Do not use LinkInCare to solicit other members for any business or to charge them fees, and Advertisers reach CareMembers only through campaigns, contact requests and their own approved posts.

  • Do not post links to messaging apps or to payment requests. Links are limited for new accounts and link-heavy posts are held for review.

  • Use your real name and your real profession.

  • Do not claim a license, certification or experience you do not have. Credentials on LinkInCare are self-reported and not verified by us, so the community relies on your honesty, and advertisers verify before hiring.

  • Do not impersonate another person, an advertiser, a regulator or LinkInCare.

  • Advertisers must register under their real business name and describe their services accurately.

  • One person, one CareMember account. Do not create a new account to get around a suspension or ban; the strikes and the ban follow you to the new account.

  • Post only content you created or have the right to share.

  • Credit sources when you quote or summarise them.

  • Video links from YouTube, TikTok and Instagram are welcome when the video is yours or you are allowed to share it.

  • If you believe something on LinkInCare infringes your copyright, see our Copyright Policy for how to send a notice.

The Nutrition, Wellness and Beauty and self-care channels are for general education and peer support.

  • Everything posted there carries a "general information, not medical advice" label, which links to our Health Content Disclaimer.

  • Do not present personal opinion as medical consensus, promote cures or treatments that the evidence does not support, or discourage people from seeking care. Health misinformation can be reported and is reviewed with priority.

  • Posts in these channels by members who are not Creators wait for a short review before they are published.

  • Creators are CareMembers whose application we approved after checking their standing and a credential signal. The Creator badge is removed if a Creator breaks the health rules.

  • Advertisers cannot post in the health channels.

  • Be truthful in campaigns, posts and contact requests: real roles, real pay ranges, real schedules.

  • Recruit lawfully and without discrimination. Campaign criteria exist to find qualified people, not to exclude people for who they are.

  • Use contact details that CareMembers share with you only to talk with them about work with your business, never for marketing lists, never for resale, and stop when they stop sharing.

  • Your posts are reviewed before publication, and you cannot post pay rates or job ads outside paid campaigns.

  • Everything in these Guidelines about respect, honesty, patient information and spam applies to your team.

Anyone can report a post, comment, profile, advertiser or campaign from the app. Pick the reason that fits best: patient information, harassment or hate, violence, fraud or scam, sexual content, health misinformation, spam, solicitation, personal information, unprofessional conduct, minor safety, or other. Reports are confidential. The person you report never learns who reported them. We aim to send you a short notice when we have looked at your report, saying either that action was taken or that we found no violation; we do not share details of what we did to someone else's account. We decide whether and how to act on a report at our discretion, and we do not promise to act on every report or to act within any particular time. Please do not report content just because you disagree with it; repeated unfounded reports reduce the weight of your reports and can suspend your ability to report.

LinkInCare does not pre-screen everything that is posted and has no obligation to monitor the community, although we may do so. Content posted by members and advertisers is their content, not ours, and we are not responsible for it. We may remove, hide, restrict or decline to publish any content, and restrict or close any account, at our discretion, with or without notice, whether or not these Guidelines name the reason.

  • Filters first. Every post, comment and profile text passes automated filters before it is stored. Contact details, patient identifiers, solicitation, slurs and duplicate text are designed to be refused or held, although filters can miss things and can make mistakes.

  • Automated review. When our automated moderation is switched on, text is classified by an automated service after it is saved; a post may be held for a person to look at, or removed as an automated action you can appeal.

  • People decide. Reports and held items go to LinkInCare staff. Serious reports are reviewed first. Staff decisions are logged.

  • You are told. When we act on your content or account, we aim to send you a statement of reasons that names the content, the rule, whether a person or an automated rule decided, and any message from the reviewer. We may withhold details where notice could compromise safety, an investigation or legal compliance.

  • Trust grows. New accounts have lower limits for posting and links. Limits rise with time and a clean record, and fall after a strike.

Depending on what happened and how often, we may:

  • Remove or hold the content.

  • Send a warning.

  • Issue a strike. Strikes are given only by a person, and we generally let them expire with time. As strikes build up, we generally respond with escalating steps, which may include a warning, a temporary suspension and a review for a ban, but we may skip steps or act differently where we think the situation calls for it.

  • Suspend an account, generally for 30 days or less.

  • Ban an account. We generally treat a ban as permanent unless we reverse it on appeal; while an account is banned, we generally hide its content, and we may restore it if the ban is lifted. An advertiser ban also pauses its campaigns.

  • Report illegal content to the authorities where the law requires it, and preserve and disclose information as our Privacy Policy and Guidelines for Legal Requests describe.

  • Take any other action we consider appropriate.

Patient information, impersonation, credential fraud, threats and anything involving the safety of a minor can lead to an immediate ban without warning. We are not liable for any action we take, or decline to take, in good faith under these Guidelines.

If you think we got a moderation decision wrong, we generally let you appeal it from the app, usually within 180 days. We generally have a different staff member than the one who acted review the appeal. If we find the decision was wrong, we may reverse it. We try to give you a decision, but we may change or end the appeal process at any time, and an appeal does not create a contract right.

  • Verify an advertiser yourself before accepting work or buying a product: its license, its address, its pay or price and its terms. LinkInCare does not verify advertisers' licenses, insurance, employment practices or products, and you deal with advertisers at your own risk.

  • Never pay anyone to find you work, and never share your bank details, Social Security number or a copy of your license through a post or comment.

  • Share your contact details only through "I'm interested" or by accepting a contact request, so you can stop sharing later.

  • If something feels wrong, report it and email support@linkincare.com.

We may update these Guidelines at any time as the community grows. Material changes are announced in the app or on our website, the date at the top shows the current version, and continuing to use LinkInCare after a change is acceptance of it.
