At first I looked into Alaska as a last resort because the job market sucks where I am-- but this stuff sounds exciting.
I now find myself dreaming of the rugged Alaskan life (lol I probably sound completely ignorant about Alaska).
Who knows, I may end up in Alaska and fulfill my fantasy of being a super outdoorsy adventurer who sees cool things at the hospital as a nurse and saves lives.

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"
