No. Just... no! Bad idea on all fronts. No matter how well behaved parents think their kids are, they will get into things that they shouldn't. I already get in a bad mood when we have a student or preceptee, because I like working with my partner and she and I can talk about anything. I don't like having to watch what I say because someone else is around, and I would have to watch myself even more with kids around.
One of the medics I relieve sometimes has her kids come to the station, but her husband brings them, and he will take them if they start causing problems or she catches a run. Leaving them on station is a bad idea. I know you will probably say, I'll watch them, they will stay out of everybody's way. Baloney. The people you work with will end up watching them while you go to the bathroom, need some quiet time to work on a run report, or go do chores. Do everyone a favor and find a real babysitter.
P.S. Linuss, I thought it was funny!:rofl:
