thought this could be a fun topic and people could share their experiences about living and working in AK... for example
You go from being a new grad to charge nurse in three months.
Your hospital runs on generator power more often than not.
The patient you just triaged has a complaint of "fish finger"
A patient just brought you some smoked salmon.
The patient explains the reason they are late to their appointment because "well the plane crash landed in a village and we had to wait for another one to arrive".
Another reason to be late "we stopped to fish along the way"

As an endoscopy nurse, I found myself getting called in for salmon, caribou, and moose meat food bolus. Gross!
