What is an optometry nurse?

Optometry nurses are specialized registered nurses who work alongside optometrists and ophthalmologists to provide care for patients with eye-related conditions. They assist in performing eye exams, administering medications, preparing patients for procedures, and educating patients about eye health and post-procedure care. Optometry nurses play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of eye clinics and supporting patients through their vision care journey.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an optometry nurse?

To thrive as an Optometry Nurse, you need a solid understanding of ocular anatomy, visual assessments, and general nursing practices, usually backed by a nursing degree and valid RN or LPN licensure. Familiarity with ophthalmic instruments, electronic health records (EHR), and diagnostic tools like tonometers and autorefractors is often required. Strong attention to detail, interpersonal communication, and patient education skills help foster trust and ensure accurate care. These competencies are vital for supporting optometrists, delivering quality patient care, and maintaining smooth clinical operations in eye care settings.

What are some of the unique challenges an optometry nurse may face in a clinical setting?

Optometry Nurses often encounter challenges such as managing a high volume of patients during busy clinic hours while ensuring each patient receives thorough care and education about eye health. They must stay updated on the latest ophthalmic procedures and technologies, and adapt quickly to changes in patient needs or clinical protocols. Additionally, Optometry Nurses frequently collaborate with optometrists, ophthalmologists, and support staff, requiring strong communication and teamwork skills to coordinate patient care efficiently. The role can be fast-paced but is highly rewarding for those passionate about patient education and preventative eye care.

Job description

Title: Clinical Equipment & Logistics Senior Associate
Location: Phoenix, AZ | Full-Time | Hybrid (in-office + some remote flexibility)

About Comprehensive Mobile Care (CMC)

At CMC, we deliver compassionate, life-enhancing care to seniors and veterans in nursing homes, VA homes, and PACE facilities across the country. As a national leader in mobile healthcare, we provide on-site audiology, optometry, dentistry, and podiatry services with heart, integrity, and efficiency.

Position Overview

We're seeking a highly organized, adaptable Clinical Equipment & Logistics Senior Associate to support our growing operations team. In this role, you'll oversee the handling of lab-related items and clinical supplies with a strong emphasis on dental and denture workflows (dentures, crowns, partials), as well as eyeglasses, hearing aids, and podiatry equipment.

This role requires juggling multiple priorities; from coordinating vendor orders to supporting field teams, making it ideal for someone with strong organizational skills, vendor management experience, and the ability to problem-solve on the fly. While prior dental experience is not required, knowledge of dental equipment, denture processes, or lab operations is a major plus.

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to grow in healthcare operations, logistics, or supply chain management while making a tangible difference in patient care.

What You'll Do

Lab & Equipment Management (50%)

  • Coordinate lab-dependent items (dentures, crowns, partials, hearing aids, eyeglasses, podiatry shoes), tracking orders, shipments, and delivery confirmations.

  • Serve as the point of contact for dental labs, denture vendors, and other supply partners, ensuring quality, turnaround, and service levels are met.

  • Resolve equipment or shipping issues quickly to avoid delays in patient care.

Field Support & Operations (25%)

  • Support clinical teams with equipment and supply needs, including kitting, shipping, and replacements.

  • Standardize and refine processes for handling lab products and durable medical equipment (DME).

  • Coordinate with field staff to ensure providers have the right tools at the right time.

Inventory, Data & Vendor Projects (25%)

  • Maintain dashboards and trackers for lab performance, supply inventory, and turnaround times.

  • Assist in vendor performance reviews and contract optimization.

  • Contribute to projects that improve logistics, reduce costs, and enhance patient care through smarter supply chain management.

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree (required) in business, operations, supply chain, healthcare admin, or related field.

  • 2–5 years of operations, logistics, or vendor management experience (healthcare preferred, but not required).

  • Dental/denture or lab coordination experience is a huge plus, but not mandatory.

  • Skilled at multitasking, problem-solving, and staying organized in a fast-changing environment.

  • Strong communicator comfortable working with vendors, field staff, and leadership.

  • Tech savvy — Excel, logistics platforms, and project management tools experience.

  • Proactive "figure it out" mindset, comfortable balancing competing priorities.

Why Join CMC?

  • Make an impact in seniors' and veterans' lives.

  • Be part of a mission-driven, fast-growing healthcare organization.

  • Gain cross-functional exposure to operations, supply chain, and vendor management.

  • Opportunities to grow into operations, strategy, or project management roles.

  • Competitive pay, benefits, and a culture of teamwork and purpose.
