The Frozen ******* Wasteland!
We all share some things in common here. A taste for exceptional motorcycles... and I have to say, a slightly skewed and warped sense of humour. We had a thread somewhat like this on the Gen I Tzone... and I would like to revive it. Being the curious ******* I am I wonder what the rest of you lot do to pay for your bad habits.

I am an RN that works in the Emergency Department at a 700 bed hospital in North Central Alberta. I am a trauma junkie with an almost MN in Adult Trauma Nursing. Our trauma area has six beds including an xray trauma table (my fave place to work) where we have even cracked a couple of chest (yay!!).
Our ED covers the gamut and we also have a dedicated children's ED that I occasionally work in (the kids ain't bad but I oft want to strangle the parents!!).

Tell me and the rest of us what you do for a living!
