Free formula

[mugwump]

Do any of you get free formula from similac or enfamil for working in APU, l&D or post partum?

my story is a little different, but nevertheless, i profited from drug reps:

my personal physician (also a colleague) who goes to these "seminars" and gets free drinks, filet mignon, etc, also gets a stipend to spend on medical supplies and books.

being a poor student, he exchanged his stipend for quite a few of my nursing books needed for my program. as anyone knows these books are not cheap!!! some are over a hundred dollars. i got them all for free, and all doc had to do was eat a free meal.

Formula reps are smart! They know people trust nurses and respect thier knowledge, and if the reps can get the loyalty of the nurses by giving them free stuff, they have some really great free marketing!!! (unless you see getting formula as some kind of payment for your marketing!!)
