Nurses working in the Yukon?

Hi. I'm a pre-nursing student right now, but my husband and I will be moving to the Yukon territory in a few years as soon as I've finished my education & gained some experience. I would love to hear what Yukon RN's (or northern BC) experiences are in nursing? & what advice would you give me?

We're committed to this region, so any comments are welcomed!

Hello? Still here, still committed to working and living in the Yukon. :)

Cold? Check - have nice down jacket and pants

Dark? Already purchased sunlamp

High prices? Yep, no way around those

Language barrier? Plan on learning language, already researched Native language programs, speak passable French

Small town? Yep, and know it takes at least ten years for anyone to truly BEGIN to get their footing in a small town. Husband born and raised there....

Skills? Already plotting to spend several years working in city, in hospital, becoming as skilled as possible before moving North

Anyone with experiences in the Yukon here?
