Objective: To reflect on the relationship between nursing care in the contemporary social media and liquidity of human relationships. Method: Theoretical-reflective essay, built from the theoretical propositions of the concept of liquid modernity by Zygmunt Bauman. Results: Social media are presented as new alternatives for the nursing care process, requiring a critical argument about the use of these internet tools for this purpose. Conclusion: It is relevant to discuss the vulnerabilities that internet resources and their media can bring in the social field of health, contributing to the physical distance that is characteristic of today's society's liquidity.
