Registered Nurse - Biosecurity Screening - ATL

Location: Atlanta, GA - Airport-Based
Pay: $48-$53/hour, based on experience and shift
Schedule: Full-Time | 40 Hours/Week
Employment Type: W-2 Contract through Medix
Hiring: Immediate

Medix is hiring experienced Registered Nurses to support a public-health and biosecurity screening initiative within a major international airport in Atlanta.

This is a unique clinical opportunity for an RN who wants to continue using assessment, triage, communication, and patient-care skills in a non-traditional setting outside of bedside hospital nursing.

Current third-shift openings:

• Sunday through Thursday | 10:00 PM-6:30 AM

• Tuesday through Saturday | 10:00 PM-6:30 AM

Third-shift opportunities are targeted toward the upper end of the posted pay range.

Candidates must be able to consistently work their assigned fixed schedule.

International travelers are initially screened by non-clinical personnel. When additional medical evaluation is needed, the traveler is referred to the Registered Nurse for a focused secondary clinical assessment.

The RN will evaluate symptoms, gather relevant medical history, review screening information, provide education, document clinical findings, and determine whether additional evaluation or escalation to the on-site physician is appropriate.

If further evaluation is required, the traveler may be referred to the physician for physical examination, testing, swabbing, or other clinical intervention.

This role combines independent nursing assessment with established public-health and biosecurity protocols in a fast-paced international airport environment.

• Conduct secondary clinical screenings and focused health assessments

• Evaluate symptoms and relevant clinical information

• Obtain medical history and additional health information as appropriate

• Identify symptoms or findings requiring additional evaluation

• Escalate appropriate cases to the on-site physician or clinical team

• Provide public-health education and clear instructions to travelers

• Accurately document assessments, findings, education, and interventions

• Follow established infection-prevention, biosecurity, and safety protocols

• Collaborate with physicians and other members of the clinical team

• Participate in shift briefings and operational updates

• Support additional clinical activities based on operational needs

Required

• Active and unrestricted Registered Nurse license applicable to the assignment

• Minimum of approximately 2 years of recent clinical RN experience

• Strong patient assessment and clinical judgment skills

• Strong verbal communication and documentation skills

• Ability to recognize when additional medical evaluation or escalation is appropriate

• Comfortable working independently within established clinical protocols

• Comfortable working with a diverse international population

• Comfortable working in a public-facing airport environment

• Comfortable wearing required PPE, including an N95 respirator

• Ability to consistently work one of the listed overnight schedules

Experience may include:

• Emergency Department

• Urgent Care

• Medical-Surgical Nursing

• Observation

• Critical Care / ICU

• Occupational Health

• Employee Health

• Public Health

• Infection Prevention / Infection Control

• Ambulatory Care

• Triage

• Travel Medicine

• Other hands-on clinical RN environments

The current contract is formally confirmed through January 7, 2027.

The client has communicated that there is a verbal agreement with the government to extend the program for an additional six months, potentially through approximately July 7, 2027.

The program is currently adding additional nursing staff due to increased volume.

The additional extension is not yet finalized in writing and cannot be guaranteed.

Because this position supports operations within a secure airport environment, candidates should expect a more comprehensive onboarding and compliance process than a typical nursing assignment.

The full credentialing, background, airport-security, and badging process can realistically take approximately 3-4 weeks.

Candidates do not have to wait until final airport clearance to begin receiving compensation. Required onboarding, compliance, and training activities are paid at the RN's regular hourly rate as applicable.

Candidates should be prepared to remain responsive and complete required documentation, appointments, screenings, and other onboarding items promptly.

The onboarding process may include:

• RN license and credential verification

• Background investigation

• Drug screening

• Occupational health requirements

• Airport security clearance

• Airport badging

• Local site orientation before beginning independent shifts

• $48-$53/hour based on experience and shift

• Weekly payroll

• Full-time, 40-hour schedule

• W-2 employment through Medix

• Medical, dental, and vision benefits available after 30 days

• Required onboarding and compliance activities are paid

• Required PPE will be provided
