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 at Washington Dulles International Airport.

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 environment outside of bedside hospital nursing.

Available Schedules

Second Shift

• Sunday through Thursday

• 1:00 PM-9:30 PM

Third Shift

• Sunday through Thursday

• 9:00 PM-5:30 AM

Third Shift

• Tuesday through Saturday

• 9:00 PM-5:30 AM

Second-shift candidates will generally fall toward the middle of the posted range, while third-shift opportunities are targeted toward the upper end based on experience.

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

About the Role

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.

What You'll Do

• 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

Qualifications

Required

• Active and unrestricted Registered Nurse license applicable to the assignment
• Minimum of approximately 2 years of recent clinical RN experience
• Strong clinical assessment and nursing judgment
• Strong communication and documentation skills
• Ability to recognize when additional medical evaluation or escalation is appropriate
• Comfortable working independently within established protocols
• Comfortable interacting 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 schedules

Contract Details

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 expanding and adding additional Registered Nurses due to increased volume.

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

Onboarding and Compliance

Because this position supports operations within a secure airport environment, candidates should anticipate a comprehensive onboarding, credentialing, airport-security, and badging process.

The full process can realistically take approximately 3-4 weeks.

Candidates do not need 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, screenings, appointments, and other onboarding requirements promptly.

The onboarding process may include:

• RN license and credential verification
• Background investigation
• Drug screening
• Occupational health requirements
• Required compliance documentation
• Airport security clearance
• Airport badging
• Paid onboarding and training activities
• Local site orientation before beginning independent shifts

Additional Details

• 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
