Penny Ambler:  

y's. I don't really like the hospital scene. I currently work one-two days a week, but get this...I'm employed at four different facilities! I've worked full time at Michiana Behavioral Healthcare in Plymouth for the past 6 years but currently only fill in 2-3 times/month. There, I get to run groups for adults or kids with depression or addictions. I love the counseling aspect of this job (toward the end of nursing school I'd wished I would've pursued a career in social work). I also work every Thursday at Associated Pediatricians inside Porter Hospital in Portage or I will sometimes fill in at the Valpo office on Glendale.. So, if you're in need of a pediatrician, this group is great! I've been employed with both Portage and Lake Station school systems for the past several years as a substitute nurse. I hardly ever get the opportunity to work at the scools ( 2-3 times/year) but I keep hanging on because this is where my heart is. There are alot of needy kids in our community and as the nurse you see alot of them in your office. I get to do counseling, as well as use my medical skills/knowledge when working in the schools. It's pretty awesome. And that's it...
