Nocturnist Jobs

A Nocturnist is a Hospitalist who works the night shift.

Physicians used to make rounds with their hospitalized patients after their regular clinic hours. This makes for an already long day even longer.

Hospitalists help relieve the demands of practicing medicine by administering care to a physician's patients who are admitted to the hospital.

But even with the help of hospitalists, patients still required around the clock care to assist them in their healing process.

A qualified physician is needed - at night - to look after patients to continue with a high level of quality care. Professional care physicians demand for their patients and personalized care patients expect from their physicians.

So while everyone else has gone home to bed, the Nocturnist is still on the job!

Multiple studies have shown that patient outcomes from stroke, myocardial infarction, and other health events are worse at night. It's the aim of hospitalists and administrators by having more physicians on the floor will help correct those differences.

Sleep deprivation can result in problems for physicians who rotate their shifts. Nobody wants a sleepy doctor making important decisions regarding their health!

Because Nocturnists become accustomed to working at night and sleeping during the day, they are less prone to sleep deprivation. This alone reduces the problems that plague overworked - and overtired - physicians.

For hospitalists who prefer working nights, a large 5-hospital network has Nocturnist openings that may be of interest.

For starters, there is a nice jump in salary for you working the night shift. An extra $20,000 per year to be exact!

And while a regular hospitalist is required to work 18 shifts per month, as a Nocturnist you'll only be working 14. FOURTEEN! This leaves you with 16 or 17 days of free time each and every month. That means your only working 168 days the whole year!

If that's too much free time for you, you'll be generously rewarded for working extra shifts during the month. This is totally at your option of course but it's a nice way to pick-up an extra $1080 for a night's work.
