Night hours for practitioners

Does anyone have any advice on which nurse practitioner specialties are more likely to get night hours? I would like to work 1-9 or 2-10. I'm applying soon and have to pick a concentration. Thanks!

    I would say in my area that the ACNPs and/or FNPs that work as hospitalists/intensivists work 24/7. Usually they work 12 hour shifts though.

    However, I was recently asked to take a 09-2100 position in an ER. That might be an option too.

    I agree that a hospitalist or ER position may be optimal if you are looking for night time hours. Possibly an after hours urgent care also.

    I would choose FNP, ACNP or there are programs that prepare more for the ER setting (not sure what sort of school or options are available to you). The ACNP only focuses on adults, and the ER sees kids so this may not be optimal. FNP trains you for the whole lifespan, but some states/hospitals are going towards hiring ACNP for hospitalists positions. You need to figure out exactly what you are looking to do, and that will help you choose what specialty
