Our Commitment to Transparency
At MuminMed.com, honesty and transparency are fundamental to everything we do. Just as we maintain the highest standards of integrity in nursing practice, we apply those same principles to how we operate this blog.
This page explains our affiliate relationships, how we earn income, and—most importantly—how we ensure that your trust always comes first.
Understanding Affiliate Relationships
What Are Affiliate Links?
An affiliate link is a special tracking URL that allows us to earn a small commission when you purchase a product or service through that link. This commission comes from the company selling the product, not from you—you pay the exact same price whether you use our link or go directly to the seller.
Think of it as the company saying “thank you” for sending customers their way, similar to a referral bonus in healthcare settings.
How We Use Affiliate Links
MuminMed.com participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions when you click on certain links and make purchases. These programs may include (but are not limited to):
- Amazon Associates Program
- ShareASale
- CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction)
- Rakuten Marketing
- Individual brand affiliate programs related to nurse apparel, wellness products, and healthcare resources
When you see a product recommendation, resource link, or service suggestion on MuminMed, it may contain an affiliate link. We will never hide this from you. Our commitment is to be completely transparent about when we may earn a commission.
Our Affiliate Philosophy
Your Trust Over Our Commission
Here’s our promise to you: We will never recommend a product, service, or resource solely because it pays a higher commission.
Our recommendation process follows the same rigorous standards we apply in nursing:
✅ Evidence-Based Selection
Just as we use evidence-based practice in patient care, we research products thoroughly before recommending them.
✅ Real-World Relevance
We only recommend items that address genuine challenges nurses face—comfort during long shifts, stress management tools, career development resources, etc.
✅ Quality Standards
Products and services must meet high standards of quality, durability, and value for working nurses.
✅ Personal Experience or Thorough Research
Whenever possible, recommendations come from personal use. When that’s not feasible, we conduct extensive research, including reading verified reviews, checking professional ratings, and consulting with fellow healthcare professionals.
✅ Honest Reviews
We share both pros and cons. If a product has limitations, we’ll tell you. Honesty builds trust, and your trust means more to us than any commission.
✅ Nursing-Specific Value
We evaluate everything through the lens of “Does this genuinely help nurses?” If it doesn’t serve our community’s needs, we won’t recommend it.

❌ Products that contradict evidence-based healthcare practices
❌ Multi-level marketing (MLM) schemes

How Affiliate Income Supports MuminMed
The Reality of Running a Free Resource
Creating high-quality, research-based content takes significant time and resources:
- Content Research & Writing: Hours of research for each comprehensive article
- Website Maintenance: Hosting, security, and technical upkeep
- Professional Development: Staying current with nursing trends and wellness research
- Community Engagement: Responding to comments, emails, and questions
- Visual Content: Images, graphics, and multimedia resources
Affiliate commissions help cover these costs and allow us to:
✅ Keep all content completely free for nurses worldwide
✅ Maintain independence—no corporate sponsorships that might influence our advice
✅ Invest in better resources for our community
✅ Expand content coverage on topics nurses care about
✅ Continue regular publishing without paywalls or subscriptions
Our Income Doesn’t Change Your Price
This is important: When you purchase through an affiliate link, you pay the exact same price as buying directly from the seller. Sometimes, we can even negotiate exclusive discounts for our community, which means you might actually pay less by using our links.
Your Rights & Choices
You’re Always in Control
Using our affiliate links is completely optional. We’re grateful when you choose to support MuminMed this way, but we understand if you prefer to search for products independently. Either way, we’re here to provide valuable information and support.
Non-Affiliate Recommendations
Not every recommendation on MuminMed is an affiliate link. Sometimes we recommend:
- Free resources and websites
- Government health services and programs
- Non-profit organizations
- Professional associations
- Research articles and publications
- Colleagues’ blogs and resources (without compensation)
When we truly believe something will help nurses, we share it regardless of whether we can earn a commission.
Disclosure Practices
How We Identify Affiliate Links
We make it easy for you to identify when you’re clicking an affiliate link:
📝 Within Content:
We include clear statements like “This post contains affiliate links” at the beginning of articles with affiliate content.
🔗 Near Links:
When appropriate, we’ll mark individual links with indicators like (affiliate link) or similar notation.
📄 On Product Reviews:
Product review posts always include a disclosure statement in the introduction.
💡 General Site Notice:
This Affiliate Disclosure page is linked in our website footer on every page.
FTC Compliance
MuminMed.com fully complies with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines regarding affiliate disclosures and endorsements. We follow these regulations even though we’re based in Ghana, because many of our readers are in countries with similar consumer protection standards.
As required by the FTC, we disclose our affiliate relationships in clear, conspicuous language that’s easy for readers to notice and understand.
Specific Affiliate Programs
Amazon Associates Program
MuminMed is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated Amazon international sites (Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.ca, etc.).
When you click an Amazon link from MuminMed and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission. This applies to any product purchased on Amazon within 24 hours of clicking our link, not just the specific product we recommended.
Important: Amazon pricing and availability can change rapidly. While we strive to keep information current, we recommend checking the product page for the most up-to-date details.
Other Affiliate Networks
We participate in additional affiliate programs, including:
- ShareASale: Various health, wellness, and apparel brands
- CJ Affiliate: Professional development and career resources
- Rakuten Marketing: Technology and healthcare products
- Individual Brand Programs: Direct partnerships with nursing apparel companies, wellness brands, and healthcare service providers
The specifics of these programs may change over time. This disclosure page will be updated to reflect our current affiliate relationships.

Reviews & Testimonials
Our Review Standards
When we review products on MuminMed:
Honest Assessment:
We share genuine opinions, including both benefits and drawbacks. A product earning a commission doesn’t mean it gets a positive review.

Reviews are based on personal use when possible, extensive research, verified customer reviews, and consultation with nursing colleagues.
Clear Context:
We specify whether we’ve personally tested a product or are basing our review on research and third-party feedback.

Sponsored Content vs. Affiliate Content
Understanding the Difference
Affiliate Content:
We independently choose to write about products/services we believe benefit nurses. Companies don’t pay us to create this content—we only earn if you make a purchase.

If we ever accept compensation to create specific content about a product or service, it will be clearly labeled as “Sponsored Post,” “Paid Partnership,” or similar disclosure at the beginning of the article.
Current Policy:
As of this writing, MuminMed does not accept sponsored posts. We maintain editorial independence. However, if this changes in the future, all sponsored content will be clearly and prominently disclosed.
