I work NOCs at an LTC and it is fairly common for several of my coworkers to bring their kids to work with them, all night. It seems very unprofessional to me. While they are preoccupied with taking care of their kids for half the night, I am picking up their slack. Maybe I am overreacting, but I am tired of little boys running up and down the halls and the one year old baby screaming at the top of his lungs, waking up all of my residents. This is work people, not playgroup for your kids!
As a child of paramedic parents in a small town, I frequently was brought to work. Do I think it was appropriate? Maybe not so much. I remember going out for a call and waiting in the front seat of the ambulance while we picked up a little old lady and brought her to the hospital. Actually I remember riding along quite a few calls. Fun memories but I can't believe no one ever said anything!
