Overnight vet tech, assistant and CSR jobs

Every posting here says overnight, night shift, graveyard or third shift in the title or the description. Almost all of them are ERs and 24-hour hospitals; a few are specialty ICUs and teaching hospitals. If a posting only says "rotating shifts" or "some nights" it is not on this page, so a looser search of ER jobs will turn up more.

Overnights are where the differentials live and where an RVT gets to run the floor. They are also where sleep goes. The things to settle before you take one: the pattern (four 10s or three 12s), whether the shift is fixed or rotates with days, how many techs are on overnight with how many DVMs, and whether the differential is stated as a number. Most of these postings state the pattern; few state the differential.

Right now 658 overnight openings are live, 476 with pay listed, from $7.80 to $68.00 an hour. The most are in California, Florida, Texas.
