Would an evening practice be a niche to fill?

[Lanntis, BSN]

I'm only now in nursing school, but I tend to play the long term game often in my head. I ran this by my primary doctor who I've known forever and she thought it was a good idea.

I plan to nurse at night (as an RN), standard night owl etc. etc. Most likely in psych, but we will see. Then after a few years get NP.

My question is (because I've never seen and always wondered why it doesn't seem to exist):

Once 5 p.m. hits and everyone is shutting down and leaving work..outside of a trip to the ER or cities that have the urgent care type minute clinics, where do people go if they want to be seen for general sickness-- or more particularly in my case perhaps outpatient psychiatric therapy/med management? It seems most people have to sacrifice a day of work, use vacation or take sick days that they could have not used IF there were evening practices.

I would love to ideally go NP (via msn or dnp whichever will hold more leverage/autonomy in the future) and open a private practice that filled the void that exists AFTER people are getting off work on "off" hours. Perhaps open in the afternoon and keep hours until 8,9,10 at night. Make sure 1 of the days I'm open is a Sat. or Sunday for even more flexibility. Find other evening preferred providers to staff, set up decent proximity to 24 hour pharmacies, make arrangements for labs/referrals and contacts with day practices during afternoon hours the next day.

I know I always have been frustrated either getting off work or school and it being 5-6 p.m. and everything is closed. My primary, the dentists, many psychology practices etc. That or whenever I get sick it's Friday afternoon and the only way to see someone is an expensive minute clinic that may or may not take my insurance, and always requires a higher co-pay for being "off" hours.

So just your opinion(s), do you think there would be interest/need for this type of setup in the future? Standard evening private practice (not minute type clinic) for either FNP or PMHNP. Also given a need, what are the major hurdles? Also, assume this would be in a state where NP are independent without need for physician supervision/collaboration. I just think it's something I'd be good at if it has a place that needs filling!

TLDR: Is there a need for Evening/night time practices and would it be logistically possible to create?

Thanks for input, guys!

I've found that some hospitals have a 3:30-11pm shift. if you are a night owl that works. In homecare (something you might want to consider in the future) many companies have "after hours" positions which cover the afternoon and evening positions
