Once upon a time in a city called Toronto, there lived two somewhat funny, debatably annoying and slightly adventurous nurses named Erin Mitchell and Virginia Lang. After spending their first few years working as Labour and Delivery nurses in Toronto, it was time for a temporary change. Virginia said, "It's time for a temporary change" and Erin said, "I agree. Let's work as nurses in the north." 

After some searching, contact was made with a hospital in Inuvik, Northwest Territories (NT). For people who don't know, Inuvik is located 2 degrees north of the Arctic Circle.......in other words BRRRRRRR! It is a small town with a population of 3,451, soon to be 3,453. It sounds crazy that Virginia and Erin decided to go in January because it is one of the coldest months of the year and has limited day light. It's a good thing Toronto weather has recently prepared them. The holiday season has also acted as good preparation for the cold, as they have successfully been able to add extra insulation to their bodies. All jokes aside, they couldn't say no to a great opportunity and an adventure.

Some of you may be questioning Virginia and Erin's survival abilities up north but have some faith, they are more than just pretty faces :) That being said, lets hope they both make it back alive and with all of their limbs, some great stories and added nursing experience. Enjoy and stay tuned!
