Default MIG welding with Nitrogen?

Gentlemen,

I've run out of the ideal 90:10 mix of argon and CO2 for mild steel
and was wondering if Nitrogen could be pressed into service as an
expedient, given how long it takes for gas to be delivered currently.
I have a nearly full half-size cylinder of pure nitrogen and it would
be handy to say the least if it would make a workable substitute as an
inert gas.
Any thoughts?
