The nitrogen moderates combustion and your breathing. Pure oxygen is not good for you if taken too long. The heart beats are driven by nitric oxide. The Sunday times produced a joke cartoon of gentlemen of the road living healthily under the motor way bridge many years ago when it was discovered.. This planet sits on a balance of 79% nitrogen and 20% oxygen. If the oxygen level were to get to 23% we would spontaneously ignite from the sun. Nitrogen is a stable inert gas, yet reactive enough in lightning conditions to oxidise and produce the nitrogen oxide that is a source of subsequent nitrates. At normal pressures nitrogen oxygen ratio is fine but divers have to be careful when ascending too quickly from the depths as "the bends" will occur and nitrogen gets released by diffusion especially at the joints.

How long can liquid nitrogen be stored for in bulk tank?

Although well insulated, the tank will gradually warm and as it does so the liquid Nitrogen will boil off (the gas is allowed to escape from the tank which is not sealed and pressurized). This happens gradually, so the liquid Nitrogen can be stored for as long as some remains in the tank (this will depend on the size of the tank (Dewer - see link below)).
