As a part time ophthalmic nurse, you will typically assist with eye examinations, administer medications or eye drops, prepare patients for procedures, and provide post-operative care instructions. One common challenge is managing a varied workflow, since patient volumes and acuity can fluctuate throughout your shifts.
