This has likely been asked before but my search proved fruitless I am likely going to do some extra shift for Vets Now over the next few months &amp; before I decide what shifts I wanted to know what the difference is between aen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/178238?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 22 Jul 2023 15:51:22 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:07661346-6a8b-4a26-8170-c363e75ae17cE13<p>Hiya!</p> <p></p> <p>A night shift is a full night (typically 6/7pm to 8/9am) and a back shift is an evening shift (eg 7pm-12am). It will probably depend on the particular clinic and how it&#39;s staffed, but in the busier clinics at least (as long as they aren&#39;t short staffed) there will be a night vet and night nurse who are there for the whole shift, and then if they have a back vet/nurse, they will do those evening hours and act as the &#39;second&#39; vet/nurse (or third, if they have 2 full night vets/nurses).</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/178205?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 13 Jun 2023 16:58:35 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:47cd8fac-c5d7-4e2a-93e1-43aa96f221d1Jess Parkes<p>It&#39;s been a long time since I did any Vets Now work but back when I did, a night shift with Vets Now usually involved one nurse and one vet on shift (depending on how busy the clinic was), whereas a back shift is basically a shift as the second vet/nurse. They&#39;re usually paid a little less as far as I can remember. Hope that makes sense.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
